In 2017, Samsung's performance has skyrocketed. The most important contribution is the chip business. Memory prices continue to rise, allowing them to obtain objective profits.
At present, the global market share of memory and flash memory market has remained at 45-50% for a long time, which has become a well-deserved leader in this industry. What is even more exaggerated is that they have mastered the production capacity of 95% of the memory particles in the market with SK Hynix and Micron. .
In order to obtain sustained profits, Samsung has delayed or avoided memory price reduction by controlling memory capacity. According to foreign media Semiwiki, Samsung's move has led to the application of semiconductor equipment suppliers, and shipments of companies such as LAM have fallen by 10-25% in the short term.
There was news before, Samsung's 18nm process memory chip suffers from yield problems, which takes two or three months to resolve, which will cause the high-end server market to be out of stock. This news sounds interesting, and it is still good today after Samsung's mass production of 18nm two years later. The problem of rate, it is really for the sake of intention.
How do you think about this? It is said that in the past few years, Samsung has always emphasized the management of 'profit first', so it is not surprising to suppress the memory capacity to prevent the start of memory price reduction.
