Aside from embedded eMMC and UFS products, whose prices have been adjusted upward in line with significant resource cost increases, the spot Memory market remained largely stable this week.

SK hynix Inc.announced that it has become the first in the industry to complete the Intel Data Center Certified process to apply 256GB DDR5 RDIMM1—a high capacity server module based on 32Gb fifth-generation 10nm-class (1b) DRAM— to Intel Xeon 6 platform.

Samsung and Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology on Tuesday unveiled its technology to make DRAM smaller than 10-nanometer (nm).

Although the liquidation behavior of individual traders last week led to a slight loosening of the prices of relevant resources, a few days later, the prices of resources in the trading sector were quickly pushed up again. Judging from the NAND resources released by Memory manufacturers recently, the prices of Flash Wafers with a capacity of 512Gb and above have reached two to three times that of the same period in the third quarter. Short - term and individual trading behaviors have failed to change the upward - breaking trend of resource prices.

Since the fourth quarter, due to the significant price increase of upstream resources and the overall limited supply, suppliers, apart from giving priority to meeting the supply of core customers, have been strictly controlling the order - taking volume for mass customers in a price - oriented manner.

On Dec. 4, SK Hynix announced that it has implemented organizational restructuring and executive appointments for 2026 and established Global AI Research Centers at major locations including the United States, China, and Japan.

It is anticipated that as companies enter their year-end inventory assessment phase this month, limited resource supplies will continue to drive strict sales controls. Some storage manufacturers may even halt quotations and orders or significantly raise prices due to cautious sales strategies.

Micron Technology, Inc.announced its decision to exit the Crucial consumer business, including the sale of Crucial consumer-branded products at key retailers, e-tailers and distributors worldwide.

This product delivers higher speed, lower power consumption, and a more cost-effective solution for diverse markets including televisions, servers, networking equipment, industrial computers, and embedded applications.

According to industry sources on Dec. 1, Samsung Electronics’ HBM production volume has recently expanded to 170,000 wafers per month based on wafer input, surpassing SK Hynix’s 160,000 wafers. Samsung Electronics had previously maintained around 150,000 wafers per month.
