In the two years of computer hosting market, the popularity and high price of memory are obvious to all. Although the memory price has dropped a little during this period, compared with the prices of previous years, it is still at a high price. The rise of chicken and other games, the host DIY market is also hot, in the memory market is a good situation, the semiconductor giants, Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Micron naturally earned a lot of money.
Micron Technology
Micron recently announced its fourth quarter and full-year earnings for the 2018 fiscal year, with impressive results.
As of August 30, 2018, Micron's fourth-quarter revenue was $8.440 billion (both GAAP), a year-on-year increase of 37.5%, a gross margin of 61.0%, a year-on-year increase of 10.3 percentage points, and a net profit of $4.325 billion, an increase of 82.6% year-on-year.

Memory chip
Micron's main income is DRAM memory, which accounts for 70% of Micron's total revenue, up 47% year-on-year, and gross margin is as high as 71%. Currently, the average price is still stable or slightly rising.
It is worth mentioning that NAND flash memory revenue also accounted for more than 25%, an increase of 21%, and gross margin also 48%. Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra also said that under the support of record performance, Micron has become the second only to Intel. The second largest semiconductor company.
See if you finally understand why the major DRAM memory manufacturers have to control the production capacity, but there are also foreign media analysts that the fourth quarter of this year, DRAM memory may have to expand capacity, then memory is expected to drop significantly. Also worth mentioning is that domestically produced DDR3 violet memory has been sold on Taobao, and B station has related evaluations, and domestic DDR4 memory is currently being developed.
