[PConline News] 2017 is about to pass. Looking back at the memory chip market in the past year, people are most sceptical about the price increase – 8GB DDR4 memory has risen from more than 200 blocks last year to more than 900, with a three-fold increase in price. People are unbearable, although the increase in SSD hard drives is not so exaggerated, but it has more than doubled the price increase compared to before, so many people still can only choose 120GB capacity. This round of flash memory and memory prices have caused the imbalance in market supply and demand, but the underlying reason lies in the monopoly of the memory chip market in a few foreign companies such as Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, Toshiba, and China has no say in this area. We also only have to bear the price. Therefore, if we want to reverse the trend of memory and flash memory market prices, only domestic manufacturers are also involved in this market and it is only possible to increase competitive pressure. The past weekend seems to have good news. Some netizens have exposed the DDR4 memory produced by Ziguang, a single 4GB. As soon as the group feels agitated, it seems that people have seen the hope of a large price reduction in memory. However, the truth is very cruel. This is not only an old news, but actually. Ziguang now has no ability to produce DDR4 memory. These days, some netizens have posted a memory that has not been seen before. This is a green PCB with no apparent memory. The capacity is 4GB. There is nothing special about it, but the logo above is Unilc. It is the logo of Ziguang Guoxin Company, and Ziguang Guoxin is a holding subsidiary of Ziguang Group, which owns Xi'an Ziguang Guoxin, Shenzhen Guowei and Ziguang Tongchuang. According to the official website, Ziguang Guoxin is a listed company in the semiconductor industry under the Ziguang Group, focusing on integrated circuit chip design and development. It adheres to stable operation, continuous innovation, and open cooperation. It is currently the leading integrated circuit chip design and system integration solution in China. "The supplier." So, this picture was quickly spread on the Internet and became evidence of the successful creation of DDR4 memory chips by Ziguang. It was also announced by the media and the media that it was the first independently developed DDR4 memory in China. If the domestic DDR4 memory is successfully developed, this is undoubtedly a good thing, but this broke the news that it was not just passed a few days ago - first this is not DDR4 memory, but 4GB DDR3 memory, slightly blurred above the mark If the PC3-12800 is the DDR3-1600 memory frequency, the timing of the CL11-11-11 also meets the DDR3-1600 standard. Secondly, even if it is DDR3 memory, this is actually not Ziguang's technology. Xi'an Ziguang Guoxin was initially the storage division established by Infineon Technologies in Xi’an in 2003. In 2006, Infineon split the storage division to establish an odd position. Mengda Company and Xi'an Qimonda Company also operated independently. In 2009, they were acquired by the domestic Inspur Group. The company was restructured into Xi'an Huaxin Company. In 2015, Ziguang Guoxin acquired Xi'an Huaxin and established the current Xi'an Ziguang Guoxin. the company. Therefore, this memory is actually a product of earlier eras of Infineon and Qimonda. Ziguang and Ziguang Guoxin currently do not have the capability and technology to produce DDR4 memory. In Ziguang's plan, their most important task in the past two years was Wuhan's Yangtze River storage technology. The main product was 3D NAND flash memory instead of DRAM memory. After all, Wuhan Sanxin Technology, the predecessor of Yangtze River Storage, had previously cooperated with Flying Lead Semiconductor. NAND flash, there is still some flash memory technology accumulation, and DRAM memory is basically a blank. However, domestic companies will enter the DRAM memory chip market sooner or later. The second phase of the Ziguang Group's Wuhan Base is a DRAM memory factory, while others such as Hefei Changxin and Fujian Jinhua Group are the main players in DRAM memory technology, respectively. The company's personnel, Taiwanese companies and UMC and other companies cooperate, but DRAM memory particles are more difficult than NAND flash memory. This process may take a long time.
