This Chinese NAND maker just overtook Sandisk and Micron to become the third biggest storage player
China's YMTC surpasses Sandisk and Micron, claiming the third spot in global NAND storage market share, behind Samsung and SK Hynix.
Micron is a casual puzzle game released in 2012 across PC, Mac, Linux, and iOS platforms.
Recent coverage has focused on Micron's position in the memory chip manufacturing sector rather than the game itself. The company has benefited from AI-driven demand, achieving trillion-dollar valuation status and securing long-term supply agreements with major automotive clients to prevent supply chain disruptions. Tesla and SpaceX have reportedly obtained memory allocations from Micron at favorable pricing through strategic agreements. However, competition is intensifying on multiple fronts: Chinese manufacturer CXMT is approaching Micron's DRAM production capacity, while another Chinese firm, YMTC, has claimed the third-largest share of the global NAND storage market. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's Terafab project is actively recruiting to challenge the existing memory chip oligopoly dominated by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron.

Elon Musk was already aiming for an unprecedented degree of semiconductor-related vertical integration within the confines of the uber-ambitious Terafab joint project between Tesla and SpaceX. Even so, the mega-billionaire has just dialled up his ambitions by a significant notch…
It appears Tesla - and possibly SpaceXAI - have been able to procure memory chips from Micron at a bargain, which is quite a feat in and of itself, especially given the current memory-related pricing dynamics, where even titans such as Apple have been forced to cry out in pain, f…
The AI boom has catapulted Micron to the trillion-dollar valuation club, and to ensure that the memory manufacturer not only enjoys its newfound position but maintains it, the company has formed a Strategic Customer Agreement (SCA). While some may deduce that the firm intends to…
China’s CXMT could soon rival Micron in DRAM wafer production ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), China’s top DRAM producer, is rapidly expanding. A new report claims that CXMT will come exceptionally close to Micron’s DRAM wafer production capacity by the end of this year. In t…
