Nanya to produce 200 million 256Mbit chips in 2003
Nanya Technology informed that in March 256Mbit chip shipments would make 16 million units, this value reaching about 200 million DRAM chips total in 2003 (46% more vs. 2002).
Describing the market situation, company’s CEO said the prices would reach the lowest limit by the end of Q1, while Q2 was expected to bring high sales volumes vs. the previous quarter. This is strange as Q2 is traditionally considered unsuccessful from this point.
DRAM makers profitability depends much on chip cost price. Currently a chip costs Nanya $4 against $5 or $6 that other local makers spend.
So, perhaps, this low price and growing DDR400 shipments will let Nanya Technology earn more money than in Q1.
