Its NAND flash revenue in the fourth quarter reached $1.63 billion, down 0.2 per cent from three months earlier.Micron Technology and Intel came in fourth and fifth in the NAND flash market with market shares of 11.2 per cent and 8.9 per cent in the fourth quarter, respectively.Intel, which agreed to sell its NAND flash business unit to SK hynix for $9 billion, saw its revenue increase 4.85 percent quarter-on-quarter to $1.2 billion.Overall, the global NAND flash industry saw its revenue reach $14.1 billion in the fourth quarter, down 2.9 per cent from a quarter earlier, as companies in server and data center segments continue to scale back their procurements.( With inputs from IANS )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
