Samsung has successfully overtaken Intel to become the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, boasting a 10.5% market share with $66.5 billion in revenue. Key to this growth has been a remarkable 62.5% year-over-year increase in chip shipments, primarily driven by soaring demand for memory chips like DRAM and NAND. These products are in high demand due to trends in AI, cloud computing, and enhanced performance in GPUs. Samsung has also addressed past challenges with its HBM chips, earning Nvidia’s certification, which will likely propel its AI-related sales expansion.
Samsung's resurgence as the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer is fueled by a dramatic increase in memory chip sales, evident by a 62.5% year-over-year growth.
With the demand for DRAM and NAND flash memory skyrocketing due to AI, cloud services, and high-performance GPUs, Samsung capitalized effectively on rising memory prices.
After resolving initial overheating issues in its HBM chips, Samsung has gained Nvidia's certification, positioning itself for substantial growth in AI-related sales.
Despite challenges, Samsung has made significant advancements in semiconductor production technology, notably aiming for 2nm chip development and HBM4 production in 2024.
