Samsung Electronics has extended its lead in the DRAM sector by successfully mass-producing
a 10-nanometer-class DRAM chip. With this, the combined market share of Samsung
Electronics and SK hynix reached an all-time high for six quarters up until the last three
months of 2015. According to analysts, the 18-nanometer DRAM
chip, …used in PCs and laptops, will give Samsung an upper hand in price competitiveness
compared to its rivals. SK hynix and U.S.-based firm Micron are still
focused on 25-nanometer DRAM chips. SK hynix announced earlier this year that
it would develop its own 18-nanometer DRAM chip by the latter half of this year and begin
mass-production early next year.
