Aug 29, 2019 (China Knowledge) - Chinese chip manufacturer Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd has entered an agreement with the Chongqing municipal government to build a plant earmarked for designing and manufacturing
memory chips.
But the light at the end of the tunnel may be further away than it appears. Inventory levels at
memory chip producers are still high, and contract prices for DRAM chips remain in a downtrend in the third quarter, according to DRAMeXchange.
The worsening performance resulting from a chip industry downturn and external uncertainties, such as the U.S.-China trade war and Japan's export regulations imposed against Korea, raised speculation that Samsung may join moves to cut
memory chip production.
Looking ahead to the second quarter, Samsung expects limited improvement in the
memory chip market, as demand will likely begin to improve for major applications such as mobile products but price declines will likely continue.
The GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q is seen with a base clock of 975 MHz, while the memory is set to operate at 1500 MHz, which means it will use 12 Gbps
memory chips. According to the report, via Wccftech, while there's no description of what the GPU scored, it reportedly scored around 19000 points, which means that it could be slightly slower than the GeForce GTX 1070 mobility variant.
Samsung plans to curtail growth in
memory chip output next year to keep supplies tight amid an expected weakening demand, Bloomberg News reported last month.
SK hynix on Friday announced an investment plan of around 15 trillion won for an additional
memory chip fab in Icheon.
The post Samsung to spend $7 billion on
memory chip production appeared first on Tahawul Tech.
The company dispelled views that the
memory chip industry may have passed its peak after impressive growth last year.
Any changes in "normal" memory recall could mean a problem with her
memory chip, or, worse, could be a sign of Verget's disease, a viral form of Alzheimer's that necessitated the chips.
According to statistics from Gartner , China accounted for about half of the world's NAND flash
memory chip sales last year, worth $29bn.
