Monthly Memory & Flash Market Watch
January 2024
Samsung delays mass production at its Texas fab
• The company scales back its Texas operation due to uncertain CHIPS Act subsidies and the global economy.
• The CHIPS and Science Act, which is supposed to be provided to semiconductor companies to encourage the construction of foundries in the U.S., is still largely in the pipeline, with just $35 million of the total $52 billion granted so far.
WD’s board of directors approved a plan to separate its HDD and flash businesses
*Facts about PCIe 5.0: developed by PCI-SIG, up to 14,000 MB/s read, enables twice the data transfer speed and bandwidth versus the PCIe 4.0 spec
• Kioxia CM7 and CD8P series drives can now be found on the PCI-SIG Integrator’s List
SK hynix's market share of the DRAM market has reached 35% as of Q3’23
• This is the most notable growth among manufacturers, reaching $4.626 billion and significantly narrowing the firm’s market share gap with Samsung to less than 5%.
• The firm benefited from growth in HBM and DDR5 shipments and is expecting a steady quarterly rise in 2024 in line with DDR5’s growing market penetration.
Recent Micron strategies in China is considered as moves to make amends with the Chinese authorities
*Background: Chinese government’s prohibition against Micron chips in the nation's critical infrastructure affects its business significantly
• The firm reached a global settlement concerning a seven-year-old intellectual property theft lawsuit against Chinese state-owned Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co.
• Micron promised to invest another 4.3 billion yuan (US$ 606.2 million) in its chip-making plants in China.
