The prices for DRAM-chips have again rushed downwards. However this time reduction in consumer activity is not the only factor, the most important is high deliveries of chips from three manufacturers companies: Micron Technology, Elpida Memory and Hynix Semiconductor.
According to last news, chipmakers have considerably increased RAM manufacture. The reason for that became low demand for devices: CMOS-sensor controls in Micron case and DRAM for electronics devices consumer in Elpida. Hynix has transferred capacities for manufacturing DRAM-chips after being faced to a rigid competition from Samsung Electronics and Toshiba in the NAND flash-memory market .
As declare the informed sources, DRAM-production increase from Micron, Elpida and Hynix will lead to global growth of sales on 20-30 % in the second quarter 2007. Naturally, the big number of production will negatively affect prices and will lead to decrease manufacturers profit.
