Memory chip prices plummeted
Semiconductor chip giant Intel robbed Samsung in 2017 and 2018 & ldquo; First brother;, However, with the falling prices of DRAM memory and NAND flash memory, Intel is likely to regain its throne in 2019. Because Intel does not have much growth in processors and other chips, but it can surpass Samsung to become a global chip manufacturer
DRAM memory and NAND flash memory experienced two consecutive years of sharp increases in 2016 and 2017. The price of NAND flash memory fell by 50% in 2018, and memory products also fell in the second half of 2018. Previously, the research of dramexchange under Jibang technology, an industry research institution, showed that the price of NAND flash memory will continue to fall by 50% in 2019, and DRAM is also likely to plummet by 50%. More importantly, the standard of ddr5 memory is basically finalized, and DDR4 memory will also begin to enter the countdown
The prediction from IC insights shows that Samsung's annual revenue of semiconductor products will plummet by 20% year-on-year due to the cooling of the market of memory chips (including DRAM memory and NAND flash memory). Samsung relies on memory chips for 83% of its semiconductor revenue, so it has suffered a great impact.
