Recent trends in storage chips include three major developments:
Surging demand for enterprise-grade NAND drives prices upward, as AI servers accelerate the shift of high-density storage capacity towards the enterprise market;
Accelerated iteration of HBM technology, with SK Hynix and Naver Cloud collaborating on a near-memory computing architecture chip that has entered the prototype testing phase, aiming for energy efficiency breakthroughs by 2026;
Rapid expansion of domestic storage capacity, with Yangtze Memory Technologies’ third-phase project expected to increase its 3D NAND capacity to 15% of the global market within two years, while QLC NAND UFS 2.2 memory has achieved commercial use, outperforming comparable TLC products.
Additionally, consumer AI terminals are giving rise to new storage forms, such as SIM cards integrated with ultra-high-speed storage chips, which have entered mass production verification, indicating a trend towards the integration of “communication + storage” technologies.
