SK Hynixと韓国が増強 SK HynixはHBM4Eのサンプルを出荷し、290億ドルの米国上場を目指した。一方、韓国は1兆ドル超の半導体投資計画を打ち出した。これらの動きはメモリ成長に対する政府と企業の強力な支援を示している。
メモリ分野におけるより広範なエコシステムの支援と競争上の動きを示している。
▼
リスク:減速と中国の競争 SK HynixはHBM4の拡大を減速させ、より利益率の高い従来型DRAMに注力したことで売りが発生した。Appleがブラックリストに載った中国のサプライヤーCXMTとYMTCと交渉していることはMicronの価格決定力を損なう可能性があり、大規模な生産能力の追加は最終的な供給過剰を脅かしている。
