SK hynix (HXSCL) has developed a new UFS 4.1 solution featuring the world's highest 321-layer 1Tb triple level cell 4D NAND flash for mobile applications. The product, optimized for on-device AI, offers 7% better power efficiency and is 15% thinner (0.85mm) compared to its predecessor. Key performance improvements include 4300MB/s sequential read speed and enhanced random read and write speeds of 15% and 40% respectively.
The company plans to secure customer qualification in 2025 and begin volume shipments in Q1 2026, offering 512GB and 1TB capacity options. SK hynix also aims to develop 321-high 4D NAND-based SSDs for consumer and data center markets within the year.
SK hynix reported strong Q1 2025 financial results with revenues of 17.6391 trillion won and operating profit of 7.4405 trillion won, marking their second-highest quarterly performance. The company achieved a net profit of 8.1082 trillion won with a 46% net margin.
The operating margin improved to 42%, marking the eighth consecutive quarter of growth. The company's success was driven by increased memory market demand for AI systems and inventory accumulation. Notable achievements include expanded sales of 12-layer HBM3E and DDR5 products.
Cash and cash equivalents rose to 14.3 trillion won, improving debt and net debt ratios to 29% and 11% respectively. The company expects HBM demand to double compared to last year, with 12-layer HBM3E projected to represent over 50% of total HBM3E revenues in Q2 2025.
SK hynix has successfully completed customer validation of its 96GB CMM-DDR5, a DRAM solution based on CXL 2.0 technology. The product demonstrates a 50% increase in capacity and 30% improvement in bandwidth compared to previous DDR5 modules, processing at 36GB/s when applied to server systems.
The company is also validating a 128GB product featuring 32Gb DDR5 DRAM using 1bnm process technology, aimed at delivering enhanced performance per watt. Additionally, SK hynix has integrated its HMSDK software with Linux to optimize CMM-DDR5 performance and expand the CXL ecosystem.
SK hynix has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first company to ship samples of 12-layer HBM4, a next-generation DRAM for AI applications, to major customers ahead of schedule. The company plans to begin mass production in the second half of 2025.
The new HBM4 product showcases industry-leading specifications, featuring:
- Bandwidth exceeding 2TB per second, capable of processing over 400 full-HD movies (5GB each) in one second
- Performance 60% faster than the previous HBM3E generation
- Industry-highest capacity of 36GB using Advanced MR-MUF process
This development follows SK hynix's successful track record as the first mass producer of HBM3 in 2022 and 8- and 12-high HBM3E in 2024, reinforcing their leadership in the AI memory market.
SK hynix is showcasing its cutting-edge memory technology at GTC 2025 in San Jose, California from March 17-21. The company's booth, titled 'Memory, Powering AI and Tomorrow', features advanced memory solutions including 12-high HBM3E and SOCAMM, a new low-power DRAM-based memory module for AI servers.
Key executives, including CEO Kwak Noh-Jung and President Justin Kim, will engage with global AI industry leaders to strengthen partnerships. Following their successful mass production of 12-high HBM3E, SK hynix plans to initiate large-scale production of 12-high HBM4 in the second half, with a model on display at the conference. The company is positioning itself as a Full Stack AI Memory Provider, focusing on solutions for AI data centers, on-device applications, and automotive businesses.
SK hynix has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first Korean semiconductor company to be named one of the 2025 World's Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere. The recognition, which evaluated companies through the Ethics Quotient® framework across 240+ proof points, places SK hynix among just four honorees in the semiconductor industry out of 136 total honorees from 19 countries.
The company's selection reflects its systematic approach to business ethics, including annual employee compliance commitments and surveys. In 2023, SK hynix launched a program to share its business ethics system with partners, extending ethical practices throughout its supply chain. The recognition acknowledges SK hynix's commitment to ethical business practices, strong governance, environmental and social impact, and value chain initiatives.
SK hynix has become the first memory industry company to acquire TISAX certification (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) for its domestic sites in Icheon, Bundang, and Cheongju. This certification validates the company's security capabilities required by the global automotive industry.
The certification comes at a important time as the importance of electronic parts grows with the expansion of electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and connected car technology. Automotive semiconductors, which require higher reliability than general semiconductors, are becoming major components in vehicles, particularly in safety systems like ADAS, brake systems, and engine control.
The TISAX certification, now mandatory for global automotive customers, will enable SK hynix to strengthen cooperation with global automakers and major automotive parts companies while minimizing duplication costs with suppliers.
