Samsung Electronics recently decided to form a 100-person team to invest in the research and production of 10nm seventh-generation 1d DRAM. Facing rapid catch-up from competitors such as SK Hynix and Micron, Samsung aims to advance its research to regain a technological lead.

After experiencing a decline over the past two years, the global tablet market finally showed growth in the first quarter of 2024. Among the major brands, Apple saw the biggest decline, while Huawei seemed to benefit from the popularity of its smartphones, and Xiaomi showed nearly double the growth.

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are locked in fierce competition in the High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) market, with attention turning to Nvidia, the leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI) semiconductors. Recently, Nvidia has been interacting frequently with the two South Korean manufacturers, which is seen as an effort to stimulate price and technological competition.
