Chip manufacturers to reduce production capacity is expected to rebound in chip prices next year

According to foreign reports, the Taiwan market research company said the day before DRAMeXchange, because the computer memory chip manufacturers to reduce production strategies to deal with chip prices plummeted, so the first quarter of next year, the computer memory chip prices may rebound.

DRAMeXchange said in a statement, since September, compared with the previous three months, double data rate DRAM chip contract price fell 22%, DDR2 chip data processing speed is faster than the prices fell nearly 32%, in the face of chip prices may fall further, many DRAM chip manufacturers began to cut production. The company said that in November, DRAM chip shipments fell by nearly 2.65% compared with the same period last year, compared with the same period last year, shipments in September and in October increased by 10%.

Due to the reduction of the chip supply, coupled with falling prices, uncharacteristically stimulated this month chip demand growth. Usually after the Christmas sales season, computer dealers will significantly reduce inventory, so this month's chip demand will be reduced.

The research firm said: "this shows that the chip contract price has bottomed out, there may be a rebound." The company also said that in the middle of this month, in view of the spot price has rebounded, DRAM chip manufacturers have tried to upgrade the chip contract price, but most manufacturers have signed a price contract.

According to DRAMeXchange's survey data, although the price of chips to upgrade a certain degree of difficulty, but most chip makers are still optimistic about the prospects of the market.
