SK Hynix Surpasses Samsung in Profits Amid AI Boom
SK海力士凭借AI热潮首次超越三星实现盈利
South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix reported its highest quarterly profit, overtaking rival Samsung for the first time. Its operating profit soared 20-fold to Won8.1tn ($5.6bn) in Q4 2024, driven by strong sales of advanced memory chips. SK Hynix expects high-bandwidth memory (HBM) sales to more than double this year, fueled by growing AI investments. The company’s HBM chips, crucial for AI servers, accounted for 40% of its total DRAM revenue in Q4. Despite positive results, shares fell 1.1% as investors took profits.
韩国芯片制造商SK海力士报告称其季度利润达到历史新高，首次超越竞争对手三星。2024年第四季度，SK海力士的营业利润飙升20倍，达到8.1万亿韩元（约合56亿美元），这主要得益于其先进存储芯片的强劲销售。SK海力士预计，随着人工智能投资的增加，其高带宽存储器（HBM）的销售额今年将增长一倍以上。该公司在第四季度的HBM芯片收入占其DRAM总收入的40%。尽管结果符合分析师预期，但由于投资者获利回吐，其股价周四下跌了1.1%。
