The SSD Challenge – improving user experience and driving cost....(more) |
The young compelling Netbook market is continuing to keep the industry and the supporting ecosystem on its toes. The challenge to deliver low cost devices with a user experience that meets the intended usage scenario continues to segment the market and introduce innovative solutions.
The Netbook storage device, being a significant part of the BOM, takes a front seat in this discussion. The lower cost MLC NAND flash can be a double edged sword, compromising performance and endurance. Particularly addressing the NAND flash random write bottleneck, requires innovative implementations.
SanDisk will introduce a revolutionary method specifically geared to enhance performance when faced with an actual typical Netbook usage scenario. |

NAND Flash: Market Turnaround ?!!
....(more) |
In 2008, severe price plunge and oversupply impacted NAND Flash makers’ normal operations and global economic slump will also weaken NAND Flash demand growth in 2009. NAND Flash makers will slow down their supply growth and try to exploit new applications for NAND Flash in 2009.
At DRAMeXchange Compuforum 2009, we will take this opportunity to share our views on the NAND Flash market. What will the outcome of the slowing down of supply bring to the overall NAND Flash market? Will this balanced supply and demand scenario and technology improvement of NAND Flash related applications help maintain a healthier NAND Flash market ? |

2009 - 2010---Challenges and the survival battle ahead....(more) |
Since 2Q07, DRAM makers began to incur losses. Although a year has passed by, there is still no sign as to when an upturn may occur, rendering the future challenge to be even more difficult. In this presentation, DRAMeXchange will discuss the current capital and technology bottlenecks facing the DRAM industry. In the wake of falling cash levels and increasing difficulty to raise funds, we will analyze how DRAM makers can continue to increase their market share growth and maintain their competitiveness.
As the production process enters into the 50nm era, given the emergence of the new technology camp, how can DRAM makers enhance their know-how and rapidly reduce costs? Amid the intense competition, do DRAM makers have an exit policy? How will the new technology camp shape the future DRAM landscape and development?
DRAM market ASP trend analysis--As DRAM makers try to further lower their costs, can they turn profitable in 2009? |
