Samsung ranks at the top with a $83.258 billion revenue, Intel is in close second and SK Hynix is the third. Memory chips area manufacturers are the winner among TOP15 rankings this year and their revenue growth rate has a wider margin than other industries. DRAM manufacturers have highest growth.
UNISLAN whole new implicit fingerprint secret USB disk uses 3D flash particles of YMTC and high performance security chip and hidden small matrix array fingerprint sensor of GOUXN MICRO. It is based on Xtacking technology. The embedding of YMTC flash chip in UNISLAN secret USB disk is well begun of China’s first “storage core”.
Western Digital puts Ultrastar DC ME200 hard disk into market earlier, which is a memory expansion drive to be precise. It adopts U.2 or HHHL AIC specifications, with DRAM memory inside rather than NAND flash chip. And its maximum expanded memory is up to 96TiB under 4U server. Its reliability is much more higher than ordinary flash memory.
Although SMIC in China has become the world’s fifth largest foundry, its business scale is poor compared with TSMC. According to the Q3 results released by SMIC earlier, its revenue is $8.5 hundred million, which increases by 10.5% than same month of last year. And the profit of shareholders is $26.55 million, which increases by 2.5% than last year and decreases 48.5% than last month.
Micron announces its mass production of LPDDR4X momory mainly with 12GB capacity, 1Ynm technology(10nm level), whose frequency is 4266Mbps and a 10% reduction of power consumption. Capacity of smart phone will up to 12GB next year.
Micron 5210 ION SSD is the world’s first QLC SSD, released in May. But Micron announced that it starts mass production and widely used by its partner recently. It is an enterprise-class SATA hard disk, and use Micron’s 64 layer stacking 3D QLC flash memory.
Due to the extensive use of memory chips in many production lines of Apple, its gross margin(and overall profitability) rests with market conditions of both two the memory chips. It means that there will be more shipment of Apple than last quarter, and it will apportion fixed production cost into larger sales infrastructure, in order to improve its quarterly gross margin.
Ni Guangnan believes that although China ranks second in the world in both network information technology and industry, it still is short of key technologies. Domestic hardware and software must be constantly used and rebuilt in order to achieve good use. He appealed to everyone to support domestic hardware and software, contributing to autonomous&controllable.
Affected by memory price reduction, revenue released in October of Naya Technology, world’s fourth largest memory chipmaker, decreases by 16% than last year more than expected. Memory prices’ decline since October is good for customers. But with the large accumulated base of increased prices, memory manufacturers will take it easy this year even set records in revenue and profit.
SK Hynix recently announces starting mass produce the first CTF-based 4D NAND flash memory, but products mainly are TLC type. With the technology, the core area of flash memory can be reduced by 30% and reading and writing speed can be improved by 30% and 25% respectively. The QLC type is still being planned, and it would take some time to achieve.
