SK hynix can pay US $9 billion for the Intel NAND memory and storage enterprise, which incorporates the NAND SSD enterprise, the NAND part and wafer business, and the Dalian NAND memory manufacturing facility in China. SK hynix goals to boost the competitiveness of its NAND flash options as one of many main global semiconductor firms and grow the memory ecosystem to the benefit of consumers, partners, employees and shareholders. Intel will retain its Intel® Optane™ business and intends to invest transaction proceeds in long-term growth priorities. SK hynix can pay US $9 billion for the Intel NAND memory and storage business, which incorporates the NAND SSD business, the NAND part and wafer business, and the Dalian NAND memory manufacturing facility in China. SK hynix goals to enhance the competitiveness of its NAND flash options as one of many leading world semiconductor corporations and develop the memory ecosystem to the profit of shoppers, partners, workers and shareholders. Intel will retain its Intel® Optane™ business and intends to take a position transaction proceeds in long-time period progress priorities.

SK hynix and Intel immediately introduced that they have signed an agreement on Oct. 20, KST, beneath which SK hynix would acquire Intel’s NAND memory and storage business for US $9 billion. The transaction consists of the NAND SSD business, the NAND component and wafer business, and the Dalian NAND Memory Wave manufacturing facility in China. Intel will retain its distinct Intel® OptaneTM enterprise. SK hynix and Intel will endeavor to obtain required governmental approvals expected in late 2021. Following receipt of these approvals, SK hynix will purchase from Intel the NAND SSD business (together with NAND SSD-associated IP and staff), as effectively because the Dalian facility, with the first fee of US $7 billion. SK hynix will acquire from Intel the remaining property, together with IP related to the manufacture and design of NAND flash wafers, R&D workers, and the Dalian fab workforce, upon a closing closing, expected to happen in March 2025 with the remaining cost of US $2 billion. Per the settlement, Intel will continue to manufacture NAND wafers on the Dalian Memory Manufacturing Facility and retain all IP related to the manufacture and design of NAND flash wafers until the final closing.

With this acquisition, SK hynix goals to reinforce the competitiveness of its storage options, including enterprise SSDs, within the rapidly rising NAND flash space, and additional aims to leap forward as one of many leading global semiconductor firms in the industry. SK hynix expects that the transaction would enable SK hynix to develop the Memory Wave Workshop ecosystem to the profit of shoppers, companions, workers and shareholders. As the global leader in the semiconductor trade, Intel possesses business-leading NAND SSD technology and quadruple level cell (QLC) NAND flash merchandise. For the first six months ended June 27, Memory Wave 2020, the NAND companies represented approximately US $2.8 billion of the revenue for Intel`s Non-risky Memory Options Group (NSG) and contributed roughly US $600 million to NSG working revenue. SK hynix developed the world’s first Charge Trap Flash (CTF)-based, 96-layer 4D NAND flash in 2018 and 128-layer 4D NAND flash in 2019. SK hynix will mix Intel`s solutions technology and manufacturing functionality in order to determine a higher worth-added 3D NAND solutions portfolio together with enterprise SSDs.

Intel intends to speculate transaction proceeds to deliver leadership products and advance its lengthy-term development priorities, together with artificial intelligence, 5G networking and the clever, autonomous edge. Intel and SK hynix will work collectively to ensure a seamless transition for purchasers, suppliers and workers. The two companies will work collaboratively as they did recently with DDR5, to raised serve the rising demand from the memory-primarily based semiconductor ecosystem. "I am pleased to see SK hynix and Intel`s NAND division, which have led the NAND flash technology innovation, work to construct the brand new future together," stated Seok-hee Lee, Chief Govt Officer (CEO) of SK hynix. Bob Swan, Intel CEO said, "I am proud of the NAND memory enterprise now we have constructed and believe this combination with SK hynix will grow the memory ecosystem for the benefit of customers, companions and workers.
