        The current global memory chip market is not optimistic, a number of institutions have been expected by the decline in demand, the third quarter NAND flash and DRAM prices will fall by more than 10%.
 
 
        The decline in memory chip prices means that the performance of memory chip manufacturers will be affected, the South Korean media reported that analysts expect Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, two major memory chip manufacturers, in the third quarter, the profit outlook is bleak. 
        Korean media reports show that a number of analysts expect Samsung Electronics operating profit for the third quarter of 12.8 trillion won, equivalent to about $ 9 billion, a decline of 18.6% year-on-year; SK Hynix operating profit for the third quarter is expected to be 2.59 trillion won, a decline of 37.8% year-on-year. 
        Although Samsung Electronics has a wide range of businesses covering smartphones, panels and many others, the device solutions division, where the memory chips are located, has always been their main source of profit. In the second quarter of this year, Samsung Electronics' overall operating profit was 14.1 trillion won, of which the Device Solutions division contributed 9.98 trillion won. The revenue and profit of the memory chip business will directly affect the overall revenue and profit of Samsung Electronics. 
        From foreign media reports, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, the two major memory chip manufacturers, is currently facing the pressure of a double decline in shipments and average prices. In terms of DRAM, analysts expect Samsung's shipments to decline 3%, the average sales price fell 17%.
        In addition to the third quarter, the fourth quarter of this year, memory chip manufacturers are not expected to optimistic conditions. Last week, a research firm predicted that DRAM prices are expected to fall 13%-18% in the fourth quarter, widening from the estimated 10%-15% in the third quarter.
