Recently, the U.S. chip giant Intel encounter trouble, samsung semiconductor chip in market share only 3.2% from Intel, TSMC benefit from using the A9 processor apple phone iPhone SE pre-orders is better than expected, the 16 nai metric cheng supply capacity, in the United States hit a record high, the market value of March 31, the stock recently band high of 162 yuan, in the United States has a market value of $137.22 billion.
Market research firm IHS, South Korea's SAMSUNG (SAMSUNG) in 2015, the chip market share climbed 0.9 percentage points to 11.6%, held the global semiconductor second brother, and the gap with the chip leading Intel (Intel) gap.
American Intel 2015 city share increased 0.7 percentage points to 14.8%, but with samsung's city share continues to narrow gap in the past three years, since the difference of 5.3 percentage points in 2012 and 2012, 4.2 percentage points, to 2015 has gradually closer to 3.2 percentage points.
In addition, South Korea SK Hynix (SK Hynix) in the chip market share is 4.8% in 2015, beat the United States high (QUALCOMM), become the third.
As is known to all, the rapid development of smart phones and mobile devices the rapid popularity of the move prompted the d-ram and NAND flash sales soared, and most of the mobile phone brand, brand computer with samsung semiconductor manufacturing mobile D - RAM and NAND flash memory. South Korean media reported that samsung and SK hynix semiconductor hynix two companies dominated the global D - RAM more than 70% of sales.
In the Chinese market, samsung electronics in semiconductor investment continues to increase, they further expanded in xi 'an production 3 d NAND flash memory CARDS. In 2014 the average wafer yield up to 20000 pieces per month, in the third quarter of 2015 to 50000. By 2016, samsung factory in xi 'an average wafer production is expected to reach 100000 pieces per month.
The rise of samsung mobile processors on exceptionally fast. Samsung's Galaxy S6 uncharacteristically qualcomm processor is not used, but all changed to use samsung home Exynos processors. The Galaxy S7 listed in March 2016, sales reached 9 million units a month, for the Galaxy S6 first 3 times of the turnover. The device adopted their three different processors, adopting Exynos Galaxy S7 7422 processor will sales in India; The samsung Exynos 8890 processor Galaxy S7 will in Japan and South Korea and Europe and other places for sale.
According to Businesskorea.com, samsung semiconductor revenue growth of 8.3% in 2015, the global top 10 after grace wisdom pu in the semiconductor industry, NXP semiconductors. Grace wisdom pu for merger and acquisition, Freescale Freescale), make its revenue jumped sharply.
Samsung also faces the challenge of TSMC. Korean media The Electronic Times, points out that The iPhone of apple to be released this fall seven new A10 may adopt The next generation of chips, would be to TSMC foundry, TSMC will begin in June A10 chips, catch up with may be released in September of a new generation of apple mobile phones.
Has long been a samsung is apple chips partners, even in the early to samsung custom chip, including the first generation of the iPhone, iPhone 3, iPhone 3 gs with the chip, and after apple began to design chips, samsung is apple's chip foundry partners. But as a result of apple and samsung in the mobile phone market competition, as well as a number of patent disputes, apple has long wanted to samsung left out of the supply chain.
TSMC from apple iPhone 6 carry A8 chip has become the second apple chips supplier, with samsung broken apple chip orders, the next iPhone 6 s/s Plus carry A9 chip by TSMC and samsung also broken. The TSMC will from the second supplier, become A10 chip suppliers, read the report refers to apple impressed TSMC 10 nanometers. Earlier reports have refers to TSMC process more save money than samsung. Samsung wants to keep the existing market, market share and has a better breakthrough, must under the big customer more kung fu.
