#三星单季利润超英伟达苹果 How did Samsung Electronics overtake Nvidia to become the world's most profitable company?
A look at the financial report makes it clear. Samsung's smartphone and home appliance businesses have seen significant declines, with profits plunging 40%. It's no wonder Samsung's home appliances have exited the 🇨🇳 market—this business is tough to sustain. However, Samsung's semiconductor division contributed 94% of the entire company's profits, with chip-related businesses collectively exploding. The operating profit margin exceeded 70%, higher than both Nvidia and TSMC. Therefore, Samsung Electronics' profits have surged mainly due to the explosion of its memory chip-related businesses.
Previously, Nvidia made a fortune selling GPU chips. Now, Samsung Electronics is selling memory chips with orders flooding in and production capacity maxed out. In the gold rush of the AI era, the shovel sellers are making money first. Initially, Nvidia's inference chips were in short supply. As computing power exploded, people realized that AI needs to process more and more information, and memory became insufficient. Consequently, Samsung's memory chips became in high demand.
In fact, Samsung Electronics is the world's largest memory chip manufacturer. As AI develops faster, the demand for memory will only increase, and memory chip prices will rise accordingly. With orders pouring in, profits naturally remain high.
Memory chips mainly include DRAM memory chips and NAND flash memory chips. In the AI era, with massive data processing, HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) chips have emerged, offering faster data processing speeds. In these chip sectors, South Korea holds an almost absolute lead. Especially for HBM chips, which are in huge demand for AI, Samsung and SK Hynix together account for 80% of the global market—monopoly is not an exaggeration.
Currently, Samsung and SK Hynix's memory chip orders are already booked until 2027, and production capacity is extremely limited. Memory chip prices have surged to historic highs. Samsung plans to raise DRAM memory chip prices by another 20% in the third quarter.
In the future of the AI era, memory will become increasingly important. This huge pie is attracting massive investments from countries around the world.
