Micron: DRAM has not been fully put into production after the Taiwan, China earthquake
On April 11, memory chip maker Micron said the April 3 earthquake in Taiwan, China, would impact its DRAM supply by a maximum single-digit percentage.
It is reported that Micron has four factories in Taiwan, China, China. The company said that DRAM has not been fully put into production after the earthquake, but the earthquake will not affect the company's long-term DRAM supply capacity.
DRAM is widely used in data centers, personal computers, smartphones, and other computing devices. Previously, TrendForce, a market research organization, pointed out in the post earthquake assessment that Micron DRAM production capacity is mainly concentrated in Taiwan, China, China, so the company took the lead in stopping DRAM quotation, and then started the contract price negotiation in the second quarter after the post disaster loss assessment. In addition, Samsung and SK Hynix also followed up and stopped quoting. Although DRAM of these two major manufacturers did not produce in Taiwan, China, they also hoped to wait and see the next market situation before taking action. The institution predicts that there will be a slight increase in short-term DRAM spot prices, but the weak demand trend remains unchanged, and the continuity of price increases remains to be observed.
