Samsung Electronics' market share in the global dynamic random-access memory, or DRAM, market has topped a record 45 percent.
 
According to industry tracker IHS Incorporated on Tuesday, the tech giant maintained its steadfast market lead with a 45-point-two percent share in the DRAM market in the second quarter.
 
The figure is one-point-one percentage points up from its first quarter share of 44-point-one percent, and is the highest quarterly record.
 
Commanding the second largest share in the global DRAM market was Samsung's smaller domestic rival SK Hynix whose share edged down zero-point-three percentage points to 27-point-three percent in the April to June period.
