Back in 2012, things were bad on the DRAM industry. Not as bad as in 2011, or 2010 and 2009, but bad enough that SKY Hynix, like many other companies, found themselves in the red.
That is to say, they lost money instead of making any sort of profit.
Now that the situation on the memory market is improving, however,... |

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, two of the largest memory makers in South Korea, and the whole world for that matter, have decided to replace 30nm memory with 20nm next year (2013).
A more advanced manufacturing process always means higher capacity, lower power consumption and a smaller physical size.
We aren&#... |

The patent infringement lawsuit between Intellectual Ventures (IV) and two memory makers, SK Hynix and Elpida, was the standard settlement hunt: a company sued two large companies over owning the patent to a technology used in their products.
The three have reached a settlement, meaning that IV will be dropping al... |

One of the conundrums on the DRAM market is that companies have no other way of encouraging sales than launching better and better technologies, and this, in turn, causes existing products to pile up.
SK Hynix hasn't found a solution to this problem, so it is going ahead with this “last resort” tac... |

Solid-state drives have stopped being the main ones responsible for the poor performance of the NAND Flash memory market, but it has become apparent that they never did cause the segment to drag its feet on their own.
One might say that solid-state drives are experiencing a better sales level than a year before, en... |

Korean memory company Hynix is one of the few flash manufacturers that were not into SSD manufacturing. Samsung, Intel and Micron all have their own line of SSD products. Hynix decided to join the ranks of SSD manufacturers and has just announced a new client-side SSD, on its official website. We don’t know ye... |

SK Hynix wants to get the same deal as Samsung. That is to say, it wants to create its own memory-based products instead of making just component chips.
To that end, the company has formally launched a solid-state drive called SH910. It measures 7mm in thickness (0.27 inches), but otherwise bears the same 2.5-inch ... |

SK Hynix apparently believes that IBM may have stumbled across a gold mine when it developed its brand of phase-change random access memory. As a non-volatile RAM technology, it essentially bridges the gap between random access memory and NAND.
Random access memory is very fast, but it has a problem in that it neve... |

Elpida has been in treacherous waters for some time now, having filed for bankruptcy and putting itself up for auction, but those willing to buy it get fewer and fewer each month.
Elpida used to be quite an important name among the makers of semiconductors, especially NAND and DRAM chips.
Unfortunately, the memor... |

The IT industry is a place where many companies call each other to court, but at least two such names are putting some effort into avoiding the possibility entirely. To get right to the point, Spansion and SK Hynix have entered a cross-license agreement that covers all their single-level cell (SLC) NAND Flash techn... |
