Winbond set to exit standard DRAM business, to add GDDR line
By
Winbond Electronics plans to lower its sales proportion from standard DRAM to 10% in 2010, and gradually phase out the business, according to company president Tung-Yi Chan. The Taiwan-based memory chipmaker has recently announced a plan to enter a product transfer and technology licensing agreement with Qimonda for graphics DDR (GDDR) chips.
GDDR will also be one of Winbond’s focused product lines, in addition to specialty DRAM, mobile RAM and NOR flash, said Chan. Winbond has seen the combined sales proportion from niche memory reach 50%, followed by standard DRAM with 30% and NOR flash with 20%.
