SK Hynix Surpasses Samsung as Top Memory Maker for First Time

SK Hynix Inc. surpassed Samsung Electronics Co. as the world’s top memory maker in the second quarter, largely due to AI-driven demand.

Samsung’s results on Thursday showed its memory revenue — including both DRAM and NAND — dropped to 21.2 trillion won ($15.2 billion) for the three months to June, less than the 21.8 trillion won that SK Hynix reported a week earlier.
