Kioxia Rules Out Deeper SK Hynix Ties, Resists Further NAND Price Hikes
CEO Hiroo Ota said Kioxia is not discussing joint production with SK Hynix and will avoid sharp price hikes that could slow AI investment.
- Kioxia Chief Executive Officer Hiroo Ota dismissed the likelihood of deeper ties with stakeholder SK Hynix on Wednesday, citing antitrust hurdles and complex joint-manufacturing agreements with Sandisk.
- Speculation regarding a manufacturing partnership emerged after SK Chairman Chey Tae-won listed closer ties as an option in early September, though an SK Hynix representative clarified he was speaking in general terms.
- Price stability is the current priority for Kioxia to preserve long-term artificial intelligence demand, following a 70 per cent surge in average Nand prices during the June quarter.
- Instead of chasing market share against competitors like Yangtze Memory Technologies, Kioxia is focusing resources on high-margin data centre business to provide technology companies seek out first.
- Research into chips using metal oxide materials is underway with Nanya Technology, aiming to supply an alternative to conventional DRAM once efforts yield a viable commercial product.
