SK Hynix's share of 1c DRAM is expected to exceed 10% and become the mainstream process in the first quarter of next year

SK Hynix is rapidly expanding its sixth-generation 10nm-class DRAM process (1c nm) production share. Since 1c DRAM will be used as the core chip for stacking in HBM and applied to next-generation high-bandwidth memory, the company is accelerating its process transformation. According to industry sources, SK Hynix’s market share of 1c DRAM increased from about 10% in the first quarter of this year to around 13% in the second quarter, is expected to rise to about 24% in the third quarter, and reach around 34% in the fourth quarter. In the first quarter of next year, the market share of 1c nm is expected to climb to about 35%, surpassing 1b (around 33%) for the first time and becoming the mainstream process.
