Micron to increase DRAM prices?

Posted on Wednesday, April 30 2014 @ 13:02 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

DigiTimes heard rumors that Micron is likely to increase DRAM chip prices in May due to low inventory in th euspply chain and insufficient supply from Samsung and SK Hynix:

Samsung reportedly was hit by low yield rates while migrating the production of 20,000 wafer starts for DRAM chips to 25nm process and therefore is unable to fulfill orders from the PC OEM contract clients, the sources noted.

Meanwhile, the resumption of operation at SK Hynix's fire-damaged memory chip plant in Wuxi, China was reportedly jeopardized again by newly installed machinery, affecting overall supply in the market, the sources added.
