Monthly Memory & Flash Market Watch

Samsung announced UFS 4.0 offering 2x performance compared to UFS 3.1. It is said to be adopted in future automotive applications, Augmented reality (AR), and Virtual reality (VR). Mass production of the new memory is likely to commence in the third quarter of 2022.

Samsung plans to continue to expand the proportion of 3D NAND flash this year to 78% reported by TrendForce.

Samsung announced that the industry is looking to discontinue the production of DDR3 due to dwindling market demands, and higher demands for its DDR4 and DDR5 options instead.

KIOXIA and WDC have finalized a formal agreement to jointly invest in the first phase of the Fab7 (Y7) manufacturing facility in Yokkaichi Plant, Japan.
This joint-venture investment adds a sixth flash memory manufacturing facility to the Yokkaichi Plant, enhancing its position as the world's largest flash memory manufacturing site. The first phase of the Y7 facility will produce 3D flash memory including 112- and 162-layer and future nodes.

Activist investor Elliott Investment Management urged WDC on May 3rd to separate its Flash business and offered to invest US$1 billion to facilitate a sale or a spin-off of the business. WDC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
