Mar.31st , 2010---DRAMeXchange has published the new research report toward Notebook industry. According to DRAMeXchange, NB shipment will have higher chance to grow over 200M units to 203M units with 27.3% YoY. Netbook is expected to grow 27.8% to 36.3M units while regular notebook will be adjusted up 27.2% to 167M units.
Mar 26th,2010-----2HMar. NAND Flash contract price slightly fluctuated up or down within 5% due to the mixed favorable & unfavorable market factors. Most NAND Flash suppliers are benefited from the stable OEM orders from some electronic system customers, which will help to ease the impacts from the quarter-end inventory-cut & slow-season effects etc.
Mar 23rd,2010-----With the fact of limited capacity expansion, CAPEX, immersion scanner and difficulty of technology migration below 40nm, DRAM supply bit growth will be limited in 2010 to 2012. Also, credit to recovering global economy, strong demand for corporate replacement and smartphone, DRAM demand will show the strong momentum.
Mar 16th,2010---------1HMar. mainstream MLC NAND Flash contract price roughly declined 1-7% due to the 1Q quarter-end accounting settlement effect, slow season issue and increasing white-box TLC memory card supply etc.. The market demonstrated the slower procurement activities after Chinese Lunar New Year, and NAND Flash price showed the floppy trend as well.
Mar 11th,2010----A total of 40 SSD products were listed in the evaluation, mostly MLC SSDs with capacities of 64GB and 128GB. In the evaluation, DRAMeXchane compared the differences between SLC NAND Flash and MLC SSD, as well as the differences between SSD controllers.
