Chinese SSDs are getting so cheap that south korean ones can't compete. Why Samsung & SK prices are way down and still can't sell out. If YMTC can increase their production quickly in 2024, we might be seeing a permanent drop in SSD prices.
A year or so ago I bought a 1TB SSD from hikvision and it cost around 899 Yuan. Now that same spec SSD from TiPlus (YTMC) is now 449 Yuan.
while China semiconductor fabrication sector is growing, rest of the world is not stagnant either.
Japan’s ambition to establish 2nm production capability continues to chug along. If all goes well, they will have 2nm capability before China.
so while we celebrate progress in China, just want to remind y’all to have a global perspective and not just flat out assume we are doing better than reality.

well, yes of course ... like in boxing that your opponent only allow to use one arm, but apparently even with one arm (embargo) still could beat you with the supports of all crowds and coaches
China Breaks Through Restrictions with Advanced Chiplet Strategy: 3D-IC Breakthrough in Chinese Ethereum Miner
TechInsights Reveals Design of the Jasminer X4 with DBI Hybrid Bonding. to learn more.
TechInsights made a remarkable discovery on the Jasminer X4 Ethereum miner ASIC, developed by China-based crypto mining machine manufacturer Jasminer. This design marks the industry’s first-ever application of DRAM to logic direct bond interconnect (DBI).
TechInsights found hybrid bonding technology in Yangtze Memory Technologies Company’s (YMTC) Xtacking 3.0 architecture, where logic circuits were bonded to a separate wafer with storage cells in their 3D NAND products. Jasminer X4 uses this technology differently—it represents the first instance where the logic circuits have been bonded directly to DRAM.
The Jasminer X4 showcases the ability of a Chinese company, under trade restrictions, to combine matured technologies to create high-performance, cutting-edge applications creatively. A sizable 32 mm × 21 mm logic die employs the earlier XMC (Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.) planar 40/45 nm CMOS technology. The large die is patterned using two masks, which could represent a design workaround for a reticle constraint. The flip chip is assembled within the package.
Additional findings covered in the Disruptive Event Brief:
- Xilinx Zynq FPGA on the board containing the Mining ASIC.
- Jasminer X4 is the first Ethereum miner ASIC to utilize a storage mining design.
I have my doubts, after a decade of stagnation all the sudden this startup that nobody has ever heard of before will reach the level that took years of trial and error to Samsung and TSMC who have way more resources and talent than this rapidus company. I hope they succeed because I am all for more competition and lower prices but I am a bit skeptical.
I mean research and development and successes in GAAFET in China and even subnanometer transistors is not something unheard before.

Interesting how the mining industry have become a test bed for new semiconductor technologies. From being the first to use Samsung 3nm to SMIC 7nm to this.
