AMD and INTC have much more sales last year in Flash memory than SNDK. Do you still think SNDK would be a B/H invest? ip AMD: Memory Group net sales of $327 million increased 19 percent in the first quarter of 2000 compared to the fourth quarter of 1999 as a result of continued strong demand for Flash memory devices which was slightly offset by a decrease in net sales of EPROMs. Although demand for Flash memory devices has remained strong, achieving further growth in net sales of Flash memory devices will depend upon our ability to execute our plans to increase our Flash memory manufacturing capacity, as to which we cannot give any assurance. INTC: FLASH MEMORY. Flash memory components are used to store user data and computer program code and retain information when the power is off. Intel(R) StrataFlash(R) memory, the first flash memory product to store multiple bits of data in one memory cell, expands memory capacity for a variety of consumer and networking applications. In August 1999, Intel introduced the 3 Volt Intel(R) StrataFlash memory with triple the read performance compared to the previous version. Using 0.25-micron lithography, the new StrataFlash product enables both code execution and data storage on a single 128-MB chip. In September 1999, the company announced the Intel(R) 1.8 Volt Dual-Plane Flash Memory, a 32-MB capacity chip for code execution and data storage in cellular phones and other handheld wireless devices requiring low-power, 1.8-volt operation. In 1999, the company also introduced an updated version of the Intel(R) Advanced+ Boot Block Flash product using low-power, 1.8-volt operation and having fraud protection capability that protects code and data from corruption.
