According to DRAMeXchange, a research division of TrendForce, given the amount of price growth experienced by PC DRAM since 4Q12, first tiered DRAM suppliers are making an increased effort to slow down their migration to Mobile DRAM.

According to DRAMeXchange, a division of global research firm TrendForce, total 4Q12 revenue for the mobile DRAM industry grew 21.4% from the third quarter and reached US$2.74 billion, boosted by climbing shipments of low to mid-end smartphones as well as seasonality.

According to DRAMeXchange, a division of global research firm TrendForce, after peaking in the fourth quarter of last year, smartphone and tablet demand decreased in the first quarter of 2013.

According to DRAMeXchange, a research division of TrendForce, 2H'Apr. NAND Flash contract prices have weakened due to the tepid demand in the off-peak season. Other than the 32Gb MLC price, which saw 5-6% growth, the prices of all the other NAND Flash chips remained flat.  

According to DRAMeXchange, a division of global research firm TrendForce, as memory suppliers continue reallocating capacity away from commodity DRAM production, future output is uncertain and buyers are building up inventory levels in the traditionally weak second season to avoid potential supply shortages.

According to DRAMeXchange, a division of global research firmTrendForce, in the first quarter of 2013 smartphone shipments increased steadily worldwide, with total shipments reaching 216.4 million units, 9.4% QoQ growth.

According to DRAMeXchange, a research division of TrendForce, NAND Flash contract prices rose steadily throughout 1H'April; with the exception of 64Gb MLC prices, which remained flat, the prices for products such as 32Gb MLC and TLC grew 6-12% compared to 2H'March. 

April 17, 2013---According to DRAMeXchange, a research division of TrendForce, as worldwide commodity DRAM output continues to shrink going into the second quarter, PC OEMs have already begun restocking, which has benefitted contract prices.

According to DRAMeXchange, a research division of TrendForce, as the number of shipped smartphone devices continues to expand, worldwide smartphone shipments are estimated to reach 210 million units in 1Q13, up 9.4% from the number in 4Q12.

According to DRAMeXchange, a research division of TrendForce, affected by the NAND Flash manufacturer's restricted supplies toward the channel market clients, the NAND Flash contract prices for the first half of March have increased, and prices for low density MLC and TLC products have each gone up by more than 10
