SK Hynix will take over Intel's NAND memory and storage business. The two companies announced on the 20th that they have signed a contract for the transfer.
The acquisition targets include Intel's NAND SSD, NAND unit and wafer business, and Dalian Fab in China, with a total acquisition of $9 billion. The acquisition does not include Intel¢ç Optane¢â business.
SK Hynix and Intel plan to endeavor to obtain regulatory approvals from major countries by the end of 2021. Upon obtaining regulatory approval, SK Hynix will first pay $7 billion and transfer Intel's NAND SSD business (SSD-related IP and manpower, etc.) and Dalian Fab assets in China to SK Hynix.
In March 2025, when the acquisition contract is expected to be completed, SK Hynix will pay $2 billion to acquire the remaining assets such as Intel's NAND flash wafer design and production-related IP, R&D personnel, and Dalian Fab operation personnel. According to the contract, Intel produces NAND wafers at the Dalian Fab memory production facility until the final transaction is closed, and holds NAND flash wafer design and production-related IP.
With this acquisition, SK Hynix plans to leap to a global leader by strengthening the competitiveness of solutions such as enterprise SSDs in the rapidly growing NAND flash field in the era of big data. In addition, SK hynix expects that this acquisition will benefit all stakeholders, including customers, partners, members, and shareholders, and grow the memory ecosystem.
As a global semiconductor leader, Intel possesses the industry's best NAND SSD technology and QLC (Quadruple Level Cell) NAND flash products. Among the Intel Non-volatile Memory Solutions Group (NSG) divisions, the NAND business's sales in the first half of 2020 (until June 27, 2020) were about $2.8 billion and operating profit of about $600 million.
SK hynix is showing remarkable technology such as developing the world's first 96-layer 4D NAND (2018) and 128-layer 4D NAND (2019) flash based on CTF (Charge Trap Flash). In the future, SK Hynix plans to build a portfolio of high-value-added 3D NAND solutions such as enterprise SSDs by combining Intel's solution technology and production capabilities.
Intel plans to use the financial resources gained through this transaction as investment funds in areas where long-term growth is a priority, such as strengthening product competitiveness and AI, 5G networking, Intelligent Edge and Autonomous Edge.
SK Hynix and Intel plan to cooperate so that this contract can be completed smoothly for customers, partners, and members. The two companies will continue to cooperate to respond to the growing demand for the memory-based semiconductor ecosystem, such as the recent DDR5 cooperation.
SK Hynix CEO Seok-Hee Lee said, ¡°We are very happy that SK Hynix and Intel¡¯s NAND business unit, which has been leading the innovation of NAND flash technology, can create a new future together. In response, in the NAND field, we will secure as much competitiveness as DRAM and optimize our business structure.¡±
¡°We are proud of the NAND memory business that Intel has built up,¡± said Bob Swan, CEO of Intel. Through this combination with SK hynix, we will be able to grow the memory ecosystem and give benefits to customers, partners, members, etc.¡±. ¡°By prioritizing and investing in differentiated technologies that only Intel can do, We will provide a lot of value.¡±
