Taiwan's Winbond Electronics for seven years at a loss

iPad tablet PCs on the demand for memory chips is greatly reduced SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29 morning news, selling to the Apple iPad planted the seeds of the computer memory chip manufacturers. Memory chips used by these products are 75% less than conventional laptop computers, and popular with consumers,MBT Katika Sandals, resulting in a loss of the memory chip industry intensified.
continued loss
According to statistics, Elpida,Gucci Belt Bag Sale, Hynix and other DRAM makers over the past three years, has accumulated losses of $ 14 billion. According to its research department of the world's largest chip spot market DRAMeXchange DRAMeXchange estimates in anticipation of the industry will continue to grow, these companies had already spent $ 37 billion to build factories.
in PC shipments missed analysts' expectations, the iPad sales hit a record high of 11.1 million, the price of DRAM chips this month hit a record low. With the weakness of the global economy and Thailand the impact of floods on the PC output, some DRAM makers may be unable to obtain sufficient funds to imitate Samsung (microblogging) strategy: diversification strategy to enter the smart phone, Tablet PC and server markets.
China Taiwan Polaris Securities analyst Chen Liwei (Liway Chen, phonetic) said: had no problem. Gartner's data show that the previous quarter, worldwide PC shipments reached 92 million units, an increase of 3.2 percent, lower than previously 5.1% expected. IPad shipments in the quarter more than the world's third-largest PC maker Dell (microblogging), PC shipments.
since released last year, Apple has sold 40 million iPads, income-generating $ 25.3 billion. According to the U.S. market research company Forrester (microblogging) predicted that sales of apples this year from October to December quarter iPad is expected to reach 20 million units.
Elpida and other DRAM makers originally expected, the new generation of Microsoft (microblogging) Windows and stable global economy is expected to push their demand for chips. But in the three months ended December 31, 2008, Windows sales fell 8 percent, less than 10% growth expected in Microsoft. The global financial crisis the following year swept the world, while Apple is also in April 2010 launched the iPad.
prices fell
According to statistics,Cheap Pandora Bead, over the past four years, the DRAM business for three years at a loss. DRAM chip prices fell by 32 percent in the third quarter of this year, marking the biggest quarterly decline in the past three years.
Alvin Lim (Alvin Lim), international rating agency Fitch analyst in South Korea, said: DRAM is the most widely used computer chips that can temporarily store data to improve the speed. U.S. market research firm iSuppli, said in August this year, 65% of the sales of DRAM chips from the PC industry, and therefore reduce the memory requirements of the PC industry growth slows and new version of Windows, will lead to a further decline in DRAM demand.
to iSuppli expects DRAM demand growth for each PC would fall to 35 percent next year, an average of 48 percent in the past 25 years.
according to DRAMeXchange estimate,Air Max Sale, as of November 21,MBT Staka Sale, 2GB DDR3 DRAM memory chip prices this year has fallen by 61 percent, setting a record low of $ 0.71.
the other factors
according to the average estimate of 18 analysts, Japan's largest memory chip manufacturer Seoul will be up to the next two years will be losses. Elpida and other manufacturers over the past four years has spent $ 3.8 billion, it is necessary to obtain sufficient cash to repay debt, which further impetus to the downward price.
Elpida up will use the most advanced production technology, but the price of the finished product is not yet half balls your Elpida shares this year has fallen 58 percent over the same period the Nikkei 225 index fell 19 percent.
Fitch technology analyst Kevin Chang (Kevin Chang) affected by the floods in Thailand next year, PC sales may be down 8 percent. He was initially expected next year, PC sales growth of 5%. Global hard drive capacity of more than 40% in Thailand.
DRAM orders falling memory chip prices will be adversely affected. Flash memory demand of

Korea Shinhan Investment Corporation October 25, the report said,puma shoes sale, the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers, Samsung DRAM business profit of 2.3 trillion won ($ 19.8 billion). This is because the sale of specialty DRAM chips from Samsung is twice that of normal PC memory chips, the former higher-margin.
The company will also for each iPad supply of up to 64GB of NAND flash memory chips, and about 512MB of DRAM chips. iSuppli predicts that in five years ending in 2015, the demand for NAND flash memory chips to grow by 49%, while the DRAM market there will not be much change.

product transformation
as the world's second-and fourth-largest DRAM chip suppliers Hynix and Micron Technology is also increasing the supply of NAND chips, resulting in two consecutive years of losses achieve profitability in the last year.

10 years as of the end of 2009, Taiwan's Winbond Electronics for seven years at a loss. Last year, the company withdrew from the PC DRAM chip industry, turning to the field of TV and mobile phones and other specialty DRAM chips, which also help the company achieve the largest annual profit since 2000.
Elpida also emulate a similar manner, and in the past two years has developed a dedicated DRAM chip of the smart phone. Such products is expected to be shipping next month.
