[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] SK Hynix announced that from the 7th to the 10th, it showcased semiconductor technologies leading the 4th Industrial Revolution at CES2020, the world's largest IT exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA.

Participating under the theme of ‘Memory Centric World,’ SK Hynix visualized a future city where vast amounts of data are utilized and exhibited semiconductor solutions related to six business areas: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR), Automotive, Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, and 5G.

The main products introduced by SK Hynix were memory solutions such as HBM2E DRAM, server DDR5 DRAM, and Solid State Drives (SSD), which excel in various aspects including stability and speed, and are widely used in future 4th Industrial Revolution fields like 5G and AI.

In particular, SK Hynix introduced the PCIe NVMe interface type ‘consumer SSD’ for the first time at this CES. This product is based on the 128-layer 4D NAND, which SK Hynix mass-produced for the first time in the world last June, boasting industry-leading stability and performance. Its write and read speeds have improved more than six times compared to the company’s SATA interface consumer SSD released in August last year.

SK Hynix also created a separate space where visitors could directly experience consumer SSDs and CIS products. Especially, the CIS experience zone attracted great interest by allowing visitors to take pictures of themselves with smartphones displayed at the booth, where the CIS recognizes the subject and converts it into a digital image, demonstrating the entire process of image capture.

A company introduction corner was also set up to familiarize visitors with SK Hynix, along with various events such as a semiconductor knowledge OX quiz.

Meanwhile, SK Hynix CEO Lee Seok-hee and key executives will meet with leading global chipset companies, data center, and device manufacturers during the event to listen to diverse customer demands and explore cooperation plans.

An SK Hynix official stated, "This year, we will officially start mass production of terabyte-class high-performance NAND solutions based on 128-layer 4D NAND and 3rd generation 10nm-class DRAM," adding, "We will actively respond to market changes by timely launching highly competitive products demanded by customers."
