YMTC is laying off staff as it faces challenging market conditions and sanctions from the US.

Biwin demoed its Acer-branded Predator GM7 SSD with a banned NAND maker's flash at CES 2023.

Samsung is raising its 3D NAND pricing, as PC makers reportedly cancel orders from YMTC following blacklisting by the U.S. DoC.

TrendForce believes that after getting into U.S. DoC's Entity List, YMTC will not be able to continue producing competitive 3D NAND.

Over 30 Chinese semiconductor companies, including YMTC, will be added to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Entity List and will lose access American technologies.

YMTC's Zhitai TiPlus7100 SSD uses 232-layer Xtacking 3.0 3D NAND with a 2400 MT/s interface.

China reportedly allows U.S. export control checks to inspect Chinese high-tech companies.

Chinese NAND was only going to be used in Chinese iPhones, but due to sanction worries, Apple is allegedly going to use Samsung as an additional storage chip supplier instead.

U.S. curbs against Chinese semiconductor sector will cost Applied Materials around 10% of revenue.
