The concerted effort by the Korean trio, which is unprecedented, is seen as the beginning of a shift in their strategies from domination of the commodity DRAM market to diversification into high value-added segments, such as microprocessors and non-memory multimedia devices. The Korean government also is eager to see them move away from excessive competition in the volatile DRAM market, which is now seen as one of the reasons for the country's financial crisis nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com

Yet in the face of this oversupply, both Japanese and Korean manufacturers have begun to reduce production. This, plus anticipated improvements in central processing units, is expected to lead to a new wave of DRAM demand. Industry observers said that next year, demand will likely outpace supply. Industry observers also said PC graphics cards have an especially high demand for DRAMs. And as demand for 3-D graphics increases, so will demand for DRAMs, they said. In addition, the new trend towards creating processors with flash memory installed is expected to boost DRAM demand. nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com
