In 2024, Samsung rose to the leading position in the semiconductor sector. In 2023, the company took back the first place to Intel and reached a market share of 10.5 percent and earned a total income of $ 66.5 billion. The basis of this success is the 62.5 percent annual growth observed in the recovery and shipments in memory chip prices. In particular, the increase in demand for drama and NAND memory chips supported the rise in the company’s revenues.
Samsung is known for having a wide range of products in the semiconductor sector. The company produces CPU and GPU chips as well as memory solutions such as drama, high band -wide memory (HBM) and NAND. However, in 2023, Samsung is known to have lost some important customers due to overheating problems in HBM memory chips. This led to large customers such as Nvidia, especially for artificial intelligence GPUs, which need high band -wide memory.
On the other hand, according to the latest information, Samsung would greatly relieve over heating problems in HBM chips and managed to get Nvidia’s certificate. This development can enable the company to become more powerful in artificial intelligence and high performance information processing (HPC) markets. The re -inclusion of Nvidia in the supply chain can increase Samsung’s sales further in 2025.
Although Samsung has returned to the leading position in the semiconductor market, it faces some difficulties, especially in advanced production processes. It is stated that the company has difficulty reaching the expected efficiency rates in the production of 3nm chip and therefore left behind its competitors such as TSMC. Technical problems experienced in the 3nm production process can weaken customer trust, especially in areas that require high performance areas such as smartphone, laptop and data centers.
Samsung has accelerated 2 nm chip production work
Samsung, who wants to compensate for this situation, has accelerated its work for 2 NM chip production. The company aims to start the production of 2 nm in 2025 and is working on new production techniques to compete with TSMC in this field. The success of the 2 NM process can help Samsung to become more powerful in both the smart device and the data center market.
