subject: Computer price increases due to the lack of DRAM [print this page] lack of basic memory chips used in personal computer chips could send prices higher in the second half of this year, market researcher iSuppli warned on Monday.
DRAM manufacturers face two problems out of supplies, inability to obtain necessary equipment, advanced production and implementation of complex work of new technologies, iSuppli noted.
DRAM failure would spell trouble global computer market. At a time when the computer is a sharp increase in shipments to 22.4 percent clip from year to year, in the second quarter according to IDC People DRAM is still trying to recover from the crisis last year.
Many companies do not have enough money to buy new equipment last year, so hardware vendors have already flooded with orders this year. The key to success in the DRAM chip is doing so as quickly as possible. New equipment is needed and what the employees are learning to get as many chips of silicon wafers as possible.
risk to consumers is the potential to increase in PC prices. Most DRAM access PCs and servers. The chips are necessary to store data, because it is used, which affects the speed of your computers operation. The problem with the supply of DRAM PC may force higher prices, because manufacturers would have to pay more for the chips.
Tight supply more of the PCs have already been sent to the prices of PCs for the first time in five years this year, according to Acer, one of the worlds largest PC manufacturers. Higher prices of DRAM was one culprit of rising prices PC.
did not forecast how high DRAM prices could go if the surface of supply problems.
main producers of DRAM circuits production tools at the moment there is no immersion of the device lithography, which iSuppli believes will be missing this year. Companies that have a significant equipment will not be able to produce enough machines for the needs of industry, the market researcher said, and only a few manufacturers of DRAMs have the tools they need.
The second problem is the chip yield. DRAM manufacturers are still working to improve the yield of smaller systems that can more chips from each silicon wafer. Technology, at the head of the DRAM requires time to master and many companies run into problems because the technology is more difficult to implement because it decreases. Currently, DRAM manufacturers face problems with sub-50-nanometer technology, iSuppli said only a few names of the producers managed to move the chip to the latest technology.
The three DRAM manufacturers in the best position to benefit from rising chip Samsung Electronics and Hynix Semiconductor and Micron Technology, iSuppli said, because theyve upgraded to the latest technology.
Samsung maintained the lead in DRAM in the second quarter with 35.3 percent revenue share of industry, according to Gartner published a preliminary report Sunday, and then with 20.9 percent of Hynix, Elpida Memory to 17.3 percent , with 13.3 percent of Micron and Nanya Technology from 4.4 percent.
