this is widely reported in China now
just how cheap the SSD market is getting with domestically produced (YMTC produced) SSDs. Samsung can't compete and has to cut back production despite resisting that earlier.
I don't know how profitable YMTC can be at this price, but I think it's obvious they do have a cost advantage over the big 3 in 3D Nand production. I don't think we need to go through all the advantages they have, but it's there.
I'd be interested to see where their market share is this year. It was close to 7% in 2022 IIRC. Assuming they produce close to 100k wpm (not guaranteed) with a smaller mix of 64-layer production than before while others are cutting back production, maybe they can get to double digit this year in market share. And when they are ready to start production at fab 2, they may be able to take more market share
