Kioxia's CEO has denied rumors of deepening ties with rival SK Hynix and pledged to rein in soaring memory prices to avoid undermining long-term demand in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. Currently, memory chip manufacturers are heavily investing in expanding production capacity to meet surging orders from AI service providers, with demand growth driving chip prices up by double-digit or even triple-digit percentages. Kioxia CEO Hiroshi Ota pointed out that while talk of closer ties with SK Hynix persists, such moves would face antitrust hurdles and be difficult to reconcile with Kioxia's joint production venture with SanDisk. As a result, Kioxia must explore alternative ways to curb the surge in memory prices.
