China only wants Chinese appliances. So Samsung has had to change its strategy

by

Samsung entered China in 1994 with a television factory in Tianjin. In 2006 led the Chinese TV market selling three million units of its Bordeaux model annually. Twenty years later, its share in televisions is 3.62%. The story of Samsung in China is the story of how a market can build its own champions and expel outsiders without having to close the doors. Strategic change in Samsung’s commercial policy in China. Rumors about an exit in its home appliance division were on the table since April, and at the beginning of May the company itself has confirmed it. Samsung is withdrawing from the home appliance market in China to focus on mobile phones and semiconductors. what has happened. Samsung leaves the Chinese market for home appliances and home products. Televisions, AC systems, refrigerators, washing machines, audio equipment and all home-related products will no longer be sold in China. The company will maintain after-sales and warranty services and will continue to “continue to comply with relevant laws and regulations” of consumer protection. “The company will do everything possible to minimize any impact on customers arising from this decision and is reviewing various support measures for its business partners.” The reasons. Samsung has communicated that the decision comes after a “prudent study”, without going into excessive detail about the reasons why it is abandoning the Chinese market in this product category. Despite this, it is clear that the numbers have had something to do with it. Samsung barely had a 3.62% market share in televisions, and did not reach 1% in categories such as refrigerators or washing machines. China is a country in which the local market has greater weight than in any other territory, and the rise of manufacturers such as Hisense, TCL or Xiaomi in these product categories has been noticeable. The Chinese market. The Chinese home appliance market is dominated by domestic manufacturers. In refrigeration, Haier has a 45% share, followed by places like Midea and Hisense. Chinese brands control more than 90% of the television market in Chinawith an important boost in the form of state subsidies. This 2026 is being a year of important renewal cyclewith subsidized exchange programs in order to boost sales of local products. And now what. Samsung’s plan is not to completely close itself to China. It will continue to sell smartphones, tablets and accessories, although for years it has not risen to a top 5 in which only Apple manages to sneak among the national giants. The question that remains in the air is not whether Samsung has lost China. It is whether what has happened in household appliances is a dress rehearsal for what can happen to the rest of the Western manufacturers with a presence in China.

Samsung joins the trillion dollar club. AI has made it possible, but it has also made it its enemy

by

Samsung has reached a market capitalization of one trillion dollarswith its shares soaring more than 15% in a single day. There is only one other Asian company in that club: TSMC. And it is no coincidence that both manufacture chips. Of course, Samsung’s reality is a little more complex. Why is it important. AI is changing the hardware hierarchy. Who controls the memory that powers data centers largely controls the rate at which the world can scale its AI models. Samsung has been the largest memory manufacturer on the planet for almost a decadeand that, in 2026, is literally worth a trillion. The context. The memory chip business has long been quite cyclical, alternating periods of shortage with periods of overproduction and plummeting prices. But AI has introduced a new variable. Data centers require huge amounts of HBM memory (High Bandwidth Memory) to run their workloads, and the bottleneck is structural: building new manufacturing capacity takes two to three years. That means the shortage isn’t going to be resolved anytime soon, and prices are going to remain high. In figures. Samsung’s first quarter numbers: The operating profit has multiplied by eight that of the same period of the previous year. Revenue has reached an all-time high of 133.9 trillion Korean won. The semiconductor division has generated more than 90% of the company’s total profit. Yes, but. The paradox that makes Samsung different from TSMC or NVIDIA is that it also manufactures smartphones and televisions. And those businesses buy the same memory chips that are now scarce and expensive. He boom that enriches its semiconductor division is cutting the margins of its consumer divisions. Samsung has become, in a way, its own internal rival. Between the lines. This week’s stock market jump is not explained only by the quarterly results. An article from Bloomberg has made public that Apple has held talks with Samsung and Intel to manufacture chips for its devices on US soil, diversifying its dependence on TSMC. If Samsung manages to win that contract, the impact on the semiconductor supply chain would be more than notable. The big question. How long does this last? The bullish memory cycle has an expiration date: as soon as the construction of new factories increases the available supply, prices will fall again. The only scenario in which this does not happen is if demand for AI continues to grow faster than installed capacity. Until now, that’s how it has been. But Samsung has fully sold out production capacity for this year alone, which gives an idea of ​​the pressure on the system.

Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron are already working on DDR6 while memory prices continue to skyrocket

by

The market is going through an unprecedented component crisis. In 2020, a perfect storm caused there to be no chips, but it was known that the storm would pass sooner rather than later. The problem is that the storm of current NAND chip crisis It doesn’t look like it’s going to give us a break in the short term. All memory manufacturers have focused on creating chips for artificial intelligence platformsbut in the meantime, they continue developing DDR6 memories. It will take a long time for consumers to be able to taste them. In short. DDR5 memory has not had a normal life cycle in the consumer market. It was expensive and, when prices began to drop, AI hyperscalers arrived to take over everything available. This is how we have reached a situation in which just 32 GB exceeds the 400 euros: all production is focused on hyperscalers and there are no ‘pills’ for consumption. However, that doesn’t mean that DDR5 has done poorly, not at all. Samsung or SK Hynix they are breaking records and, for them, things are working out great. That is why, together with Micron, they are starting to prepare the ground for the new technology: DDR6 memories. Last year JEDEC (the consortium that is responsible for standardizing DDR, LPDDR and NAND microelectronics) already detailed the standard LPDDR6 and it seems that the fringes are being polished for DDR6. Now, as we read in Wccftechthe big three of memory They are warming up for the near future with their new generation. Performance leap. These new memories will not only be faster. It talks about speeds minimum of 8,800 MT/s according to that JEDEC standard, but can reach up to 17,600 MT/s as the technology develops. They would practically double the performance of DDR5 and the trident of the RAM it takes a few months working together with Intel, AMD and Nvidia in the prototype validation processes. But it’s not just about pure speed, but about architecture. About 2×32-bit DDR5 RAM we would pass to a 4×24-bit subchannel architecture. It is something that brings challenges when it comes to managing temperatures and consumption, but also presents a clear advantage: improved parallelism and greater use of bandwidth. Plate change. For players, that is going to be a little problem, since an architecture change usually entails a board change. And, if the rumors and leaks are true, that plate change will be assured. The reason is that there are sources that they point that CAMM2 is going to gain a lot of weight with DDR6, especially in laptops and compact computers, and could gradually displace the traditional DIMM in certain segments. If this doesn’t tell you anything, visualize how RAM is mounted on a current motherboard. These are modules that are mounted perpendicular to the plate, something that has been around for years and that, although it has been functional for a long time, presents friction when you want to reach certain speeds. On the contrary, we have M.2 SSDs that are mounted in parallel, just like the LPDDR memory of laptops. Precisely, this is what these DDR6 tablets would be like, so manufacturers would have to redesign their boards to adapt either from the front or by adding the connectors to the back of the plate. Context. You probably have two questions in mind: how much DDR6 memory will cost and why the rush. We cannot answer the first question, but for the second question we can guess where the shots are going. We have commented that DDR6 RAM will come hand in hand with a notable improvement in bandwidth, and that is something that the artificial intelligence industry is desperately looking for. Until now, there were many powerful GPUs in data centers to train AI models, but in the era of Agentic AIwhat is needed is equipment more similar to a traditional PC. This is why Intel and AMD sand they are moving to mass-produce their professional processors again, and that is where DDR6 memory would make perfect sense thanks to that improvement in bandwidth. For inference, it’s great. It is already being tested with an arrival on the market for 2028 or 2029, but it will be the hyperscalers who monopolize all DDR6 memory production. Only when the voracity of data centers calms down will the modules begin to reach the mass consumer market. The translation is that Micron, SK Hynix and Samsung are already working on it, but to be able to build a desktop PC with DDR6 there are several years ahead. In the meantime, I’d say we can settle for DDR5, but looking at the prices… Image | Luan Gjokaj (edited) In Xataka | The RAM crisis is destroying all of Valve’s plans with its Steam Machine

Samsung just surpassed TSMC for the first time in eight years. The problem is that it is a mirage

by

We are in the middle of the results presentation season. Listed companies share how the last fiscal period went and, although it sounds boring, it allows us to learn interesting details about the business. For example, Apple thinks that the components crisis is going to get much worsebut also where the companies are. Samsung is one of those that can show the most chest due to its good results this beginning of 2026so good that it has achieved for the first time in eight years look face to face at your great rival in chip manufacturing: TSMC. The asterisk is that it is a mirage. a fortune. As we read in the South Korean media The Chosun Dailythe semiconductor division of Samsung Electronics is in luck. During the first quarter of this year, they achieved sales worth 81.7 trillion won with an operating profit of 53.7 trillion won. It is the first time that the division has achieved an operating profit of more than 50 billion won, but the most curious thing is the enormous leap they have made since last year. In the same period in 2025, Samsung reported sales of 44 trillion won with an operating profit of 16.4 trillion won. In fact, the company has earned more in these three months than during all of 2025. to the podium. This best performance has placed the South Korean company as the second best performing semiconductor company in the world. Who is above? Your best friend: Nvidia. The company that is the glue of AI reported an operating profit of 66 trillion won in this period and the two have gone hand in hand in this period. Memory (of course). Samsung got a little lost in the memory race for AI due to the good work of its great rival in this segment, also South Korean SK Hynix. However, he did not waste time and took the opportunity to research how to create the best HBM4 memory modules. This is the high-bandwidth memory that is used by artificial intelligence platforms such as those from Nvidia. In fact, a few weeks ago we told how Samsung had managed to convince Nvidia so much as to AMD to choose their HBM4 chips. Thanks to that impulse, dump all your production to memories for artificial intelligence equipment (regardless of what happens with the consumer market), the company has managed to see sales grow by 69.16% year-on-year and operating profits soar by 756.1%. In fact, the South Korean media points out that, even taking into account the number of devices that Samsung manufactures, the semiconductor division is the one that represented 93.8% of the company’s total operating profit. Very far away. Now, there is an even more interesting fact. All that amount of money has made Samsung the only semiconductor company that comes close to Nvidia, even surpassing, by far, the largest global semiconductor foundry: the Taiwanese TSMC. However, although the South Koreans’ goal is to dethrone the Taiwanese, things are going to have to change a lot because they are very far away in terms of market share. Because Samsung is making a lot of money, but there is a huge gap when it comes to contract chip manufacturing for external customers. This means that Nvidia, Apple and many others continue to come to TSMC first than to Samsung to manufacture its chips. Putting it down with numbers, it is estimated that TMSC took 70% of the market share last year compared to Samsung’s 7%. The plan. And there is a problem in all this: the AI ​​superboom. Because Samsung is doing great selling its memory to hyperscalersbut it is not attracting clients at the same rate and, if at some point the memory market deflates, accounts will begin to decrease. Samsung is moving to prevent this from happening by opening new chip manufacturing plants, partnering with American companies on American soil to develop the market outside Asia and flirting with being the foundry that manufactures chips for Nvidia or Apple in the United States. Other sectors. It is evident that the semiconductor arm is going like a rocket, but… what happens with the rest? On mobile and networks, Samsung reported sales of 38.1 trillion won with an operating profit of 2.8 trillion won. This is where investment comes into play. 6G networksbut also recent releases such as those of the family Galaxy S26 that they have not left as much money in the coffers due to increases in memory costs (Samsung already pointed out that They were not going to favor their own division and that if memory is more expensive, it is for everyone). In Display (TVs and monitors), sales fell 14% year-on-year with operating profits of 400 billion won due to the price of RAM, among other factors, and home appliances had an operating profit of 200 billion won. It is obvious where the goose that lays the golden eggs is and it is not surprising that Samsung wants to exploit it thoroughly.

that Intel and Samsung manufacture their advanced chips in the US

by

Apple is no longer TSMC’s largest customer. It has been since 2014 and has maintained this position for just over a decade, but in 2025 Nvidia established itself as the main customer of this Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer. Until December 31, 2025, Nvidia generated 19% of TSMC’s revenuecompared to 17% for Apple. Even so, there is no doubt that the Cupertino company continues to be a priority customer for TSMCalthough this scenario could change in the short or medium term. And, according to BloombergApple is exploring the possibility of Intel and Samsung manufacturing the advanced chips for their devices in the US. In all likelihood, the loss of influence and priority in the TSMC production chain that it has maintained for more than a decade has led to this decision. Now Nvidia has these privileges. However, to understand why Apple is considering leaning on Intel and Samsung, we also need to look in another direction. Betting on Intel or Samsung makes sense, although it involves risks There are several compelling reasons why Apple may be interested in Intel manufacturing its integrated circuits in the US. Or Samsung in its state-of-the-art plant in Texas. Or you could even work with both companies simultaneously and not completely sever your business relationship with TSMC. Either way, this diversification strategy would allow Apple to effectively protect itself from supply chain disruptions triggered by geopolitical instability. And also the shortage of some components caused by the massive construction of data centers to artificial intelligence (AI). Apple is a candy for Intel and Samsung. There is no doubt about that In fact, last week Apple recognized during the presentation of its economic results that its current supply chain is not very flexible. And in the current situation of instability, having Intel and Samsung as partners is a very attractive option. Furthermore, for these two companies it is very important get Apple as a client. In 2024 this last company represented approximately 25.2% of annual income from TSMC. And in 2025 this figure dropped to 17%, allowing Nvidia to overtake Apple with 19% of income generated for TSMC. Still, Apple is a candy for Intel and Samsung. There is no doubt about that. For Intel, having Apple as a client would represent a definitive boost for its integrated circuit manufacturing division for third parties. And for Samsung to manufacture a part of Apple’s SoCs would be a very important boost that would probably allow it to attract other clients in the fight it has had with TSMC for years to dominate the cutting-edge chip manufacturing market. Whatever Apple executives decide, it is highly unlikely that this company will abandon TSMC. This Taiwanese chipmaker has proven for years that it is perfectly capable of manufacturing cutting-edge semiconductors on a large scale and with indisputable consistency. You don’t have to prove anything, but Intel and Samsung do because it’s currently unclear whether they can reliably deliver the kind of production and scale that has made them TSMC in the dominant custom chip maker. Apple may end up outsourcing part of the manufacturing of its SoCs to Intel or Samsung, but nothing indicates that it will break its already long-standing commercial alliance with TSMC in the medium term.

Anthropic is one step away from being worth as much as Samsung. And what the market is buying is not Claude

by

Anthropic, the company behind Claude, is exploring a new round of financing that would value it at more than 900,000 million dollars. If it closes, it would surpass OpenAI as the world’s most valuable AI startup. Altman’s company set its needle at 862 million last month. The figure more than doubles the 350,000 million it had in February. In just two months. Why is it important. The valuation no longer reflects Anthropic’s sales. It responds to a bet on what the company can become in five years or a decade: a provider of something resembling an essential service. Anthropic bills Claude for subscriptions and accesses to its API. That business exists, grows quickly and has reasonable margins. But it does not by itself justify a valuation that is close to that of Samsung, the Korean megalodon that manufactures everything from the chips we carry in our pockets to the ships that cross the ocean. The context. What the market is buying with Anthropic, and as often happens in the stock market, is not the present, but a hypothesis: that a very small handful of laboratories will control the foundational layer on which the software of the next decade will be built. And that Anthropic will be one of those few. And it will do so in a very profitable way. The logic, on the other hand, is the same that led to overvaluing telecos during the bubble dotcom or to the electric companies at the beginning of electrification. Whoever owns the basic infrastructure sets the rules. Google has already committed 10 billion to the previous valuation, with another 30 billion conditional on objectives. Amazon has put in 5 billion and plans to inject 20,000 more. An IPO could come before the end of the year, around October. Between the lines. That Google and Amazon, two of the largest cloud companies in the world along with Microsoft, finance a company that also sells through them says a lot about how they understand the moment. They are ensuring supply, it is not just an investment in a supplier. It is the difference between buying shares in an oil company and buying a field. Anthropic is, for these hyperscalersa deposit. Yes, but. The hypothesis has its cracks. The models are commoditizing faster than it seemed a year ago. The technical difference between Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini It is measured in nuances, not in generational leaps. If foundational AI ends up being a commodity (something like electricity or water coming out of the tap), current valuations are unsustainable. If it ends up being an infrastructure with network effects and high barriers to entry (something like an operating system), they may even fall short. The market is paying for the second hypothesis. Time will tell. The money trail. Anthropic recently announced, with restrained fanfare, Mythosa model capable of detecting and exploiting vulnerabilities in critical software. The company deemed it “too dangerous” to release and has only given it to a closed group of companies for internal testing. Even so, it has been accessed by unauthorized users. That is exactly the reason why some investors pay these figures: such a model is not sold but granted. And whoever decides to whom it is granted has regulatory power de facto that not even a Samsung, at least outside of South Korea, has ever had. The big question. What happens if the bet goes wrong? A valuation of 900 billion means that Anthropic has to generate, at some reasonable point, revenues in the order of tens of billions a year with very high margins. It is possible. But it was also important for Cisco to maintain its 2000 valuation, and it has needed 26 years to tie. The difference is that this time the buyers of the bet are the companies themselves that depend on the result. This reduces the risk of a sharp correction. And he postpones it.

The RAM crisis is very good news for someone. That someone is Samsung

by

The great supply crisis in 2026 is starring memoirs. Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron control 90% of global DRAM production, and can currently only cover about 60% of projected demand. This is bad news for consumers, and excellent news for giants that cannot keep up with selling memory. Tell Samsung. Samsung Electronics has published its financial report corresponding to the first quarter of 2026. The company recorded revenue of 133.9 trillion won and, so that we understand each other better, this is its all-time quarterly high, with a 43% increase compared to the previous quarter. Memories, memories, memories. The figure is even more surprising if we look closely at the Device Solutions Division, in which its memory business is located. It recorded a sales increase of 86% compared to the previous quarter, with a historical record in operating profit. Samsung itself details that this boom comes from the hand of much higher demand and, to no one’s surprise, a sales price that has increased in the industry. It is not something isolated. Sales related to memories and semiconductors will continue with strong demand throughout the second quarter, Samsung predicts. The company wants to continue capitalizing on demand for GPUs, CPUs and DRAMexpecting advances in agentic AI to continue accelerating demand growth. Why is it important. Samsung’s results are not only good news for the company’s shareholders: they are a reflection of a change in the industry that is here to stay. The RAM crisis will change forever the price of the products we buywill make companies that have never participated in the manufacture of memories have to start considering doing so, like teslaand positions manufacturers like Samsung in a position of power that they have not had for years. The new Samsung. Samsung has always been relevant in semiconductors and memories, but currently this division accounts for 94% of the company’s total operating profit. Virtually every won Samsung earns comes from its device solutions business (RAM and chips). And what about mobile phones?. Although Samsung’s near future will be led by a single division, the company gives enough clues about its future in a territory that touches the average user very closely: mobile phones. Its DX division (in which smartphones are found) grew 19%, with more sales and more profit compared to the previous quarter. Samsung expects a slight drop in revenue next quarter, although it will continue to focus on three clear pillars: high end, folding and series A.

PcComponentes knocks down the price (to reach a historic low) of this Samsung OLED TV

by

Until a few years ago, if you wanted to enjoy Samsung’s best panel technology (OLED) you had to buy a 55-inch TV or larger. This left anyone looking for a screen for a smaller room out of the game. But this has been until the arrival of the Samsung QE48S90F that you can now get at the lowest historical price in PcComponentes: 816.57 euros compared to the 1,699 euros that it has as a recommended RRP. Samsung 48″ S90F OLED TV – 4K The price could vary. We earn commission from these links A TV with Pantone certification and great for gaming The S90F series is not an entry range. We are talking about an OLED panel that stands out for offering us a infinite contrast. This means that each pixel is completely turned off, eliminating the annoying grayish halo in dark scenes that other cheaper technologies offer. Another thing that this TV stands out for is having Pantone certificationthus guaranteeing that the colors you see are exactly what the film director (or the creator of the game, since it is also a good TV for gaming) imagined. Its refresh rate is 100Hzalthough if you choose gaming mode, the refresh rate increases to 144 Hz, so you can enjoy greater fluidity in more demanding games. As far as games are concerned, it can also be noted that it incorporates four ports HDMI 2.1 and VRR and ALLM technologies, as well as Gaming Hub, so you have direct access to cloud games without the need for a console. This TV is compatible with HDR10+ (in image) and Dolby Atmos (in audio). Its speakers offer a power of 40 W, which is more than the average of TVs on the market, although to maximize this section, the ideal is that you connect a sound bar. ⚡ IN SUMMARY: offer for the Samsung QE48S90FAEXXH smart TV today ✅ THE BEST Unbeatable image quality: The contrast of the Samsung OLED is excellent. The colors are more vivid than in traditional OLED panels from the competition. Versatile size: 48 inches is the perfect size for those who want a cinema experience in small living rooms (or even the bedroom) or a giant monitor for productivity and gaming. ❌ THE WORST Brightness in brightly lit rooms… Although they have improved a lot, OLED panels still suffer a little more than MiniLED if you have a window with direct sun right in front of you. Without Dolby Vision… As is usual with Samsung, they are betting on HDR10+, leaving out the Dolby standard, although for most users it is a subtle difference. 💡 BUY IT IF… You are a movie buff with limited space, since if you have a bedroom or a small living room where a 55-inch TV would be overkill, but you don’t want to give up watching movies with the black quality of a movie theater, this TV is a good investment. ⛔ DON’T BUY IT IF… You are a Dolby Vision purist and you have a huge collection of Blu-rays in this format and you are very demanding about it, this is not your TV. Samsung will disappoint you because it only supports HDR10+. Some sound bars that may interest you for this TV LG DS60T – Sound Bar, Bluetooth, 340W, 3.1 Channels The price could vary.
