Although global demand for memory chips was declining, Samsung Electronics may continue to invest more in the semiconductor business, especially for OEM Chip business, which would exacerbate its rivalry with TSMC. Samsung desired to gain a quarter of market share in the global chip OEM market in order to further consolidate its dominant position in the semiconductor industry.
Recently, DRAMeXchange has reported that due to oversupply, the quarterly decline of DRAM industry was adjusted from 25% initially to nearly 30%. It’s the biggest quarterly decline that storage market experienced during eight years.
2019 is predicted to witness the development in storage technologies, including SDS, HCI, virtualization, DevOps, cloud-computing, and AI.
Analysts believe that the wave of rising memory prices arose out of Japan-South Korea trade war that broke out over the last few days – Japan's export restrictions on semiconductor materials vital to South Korea made Samsung and SK Hynix cut their production, which indirectly helped balance the demand and supply and change the current situation of oversupply in the memory market.
Micron has landed its new Fab 10A plant in Singapore, this may strike the supply side of the NAND market again since the market is already in oversupply condition. However, since the war of 128-layer staking has already begun, the expension of its new plant in Singapore can help Micron gain an advantage over its rivals and follow the 3DNAND technology development trend.
USB is a n important part in our daily life, a new USB protocol called USB4.0 is on the way. Apple devices will finally be using the same USB-C interface as android devices.
As USB has become an indispensable tool in our life, there are many things you should know about it. The flash memory like USB are graded by their factories, the higher the grade the better the performance. But driven by profits, some defective products have entered the market as well.
3D TLC Flash Technology was widely adopted by Wafer factory in 2017, it improved memory products to reach lower cost and helped acquisition among Memory Storage Giants. Moreover, 64G 3D NAND Chip was launched by Yangtze River storage at that time.
The latest news of Samsung is to operate new Memory storage factory in Mar 2020, it is their powerful weapon to get the leadership of Dram and NAND Chip market. The next half year 2019 will be the spring for Memory storage market; the price could be rebounded sooner.
