Future Seeking

 

Samsung Electronics held a Samsung Investor Forum on June 3 at the Shilla Hotel located in Jangchung-dong, Seoul.

The themes of the forum included mobile payments, Internet of Things (IoT), and memory, each of which is expected to lead the future growth of Samsung Electronics led by vice chairman Lee Jae-yong.

At present, Samsung Electronics is in need of an innovative change in the TV and smartphone markets, with both having become saturated markets. Also, American, Japanese, and Chinese players are poised to catch up with it in the global semiconductor market, although it has dominated the market for years. In addition, server capacity expansion is becoming an increasingly important issue with the advent of the big data era.

Under the circumstances, Samsung Electronics is going to come up with various storage solution techniques to meet customer demands. For example, it is planning to focus its resources on solid state drives (SSD) coming with its high-performance three-bit V NAND, the mass production of which is around the corner.

The company also explained that it was working on the ePoP, a high-performance single-chip solution combining DRAW with NAND and consuming little power. As of now, Samsung Electronics is the only one in the world that is capable of manufacturing ePoPs.
