Spot Price of 64Mb DRAMs Hits Two-Year High, Tops US$15
September 14, 1999 (SEOUL) -- Amid the upbeat mood in prices of 64Mb DRAMs (PC100, 8M x 8), there are signs of a shake-up in Korea's chip assembly firms, market watchers said.




Prices of 64Mb memory chips topped US$15 per unit on Sept. 10 in the U.S. spot market, marking a two-year high. It took just two days for the prices to rise by US$1.76.

"Prices are climbing drastically," said a domestic chip researcher. "If the upward trend continues, it will impact PC prices as well."

The rise in 64Mb chip prices led to an increase in 128Mb DRAMs. Among 128Mb memory chips, 16Mb PC-100 products rose US$7 to US$23.51-$25.43 a piece on Sept. 10 from the US$16 range.

From the same line of thinking, Korean and Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturers may not want MU get extra funding. One way they can prevent that from happening is to cut DRAM price in the near future to certain levels so that they can still profit while suppress MU's much needed gains. Isn't that likely?
