Winbond Electronics has reported revenues of NT$2.955 billion (US$92 million) for June 2010, the highest level in more than three years. Meanwhile, Macronix International's June sales grew 5.8% sequentially to NT$2.59 billion buoyed by brisk sales of its NOR flash business.

Winbond saw June revenues soar 110.7% from NT$1.4 billion reported for the same month of 2009. The company has moved to expand its non-DRAM sales, and reduce its exposure to the volatile DRAM market.

Sales of Winbond's NOR flash and niche memory accounted for 90% of its total sales in the first quarter of 2010. The company is looking to lower the proportion to almost 100% through phasing out commodity DRAM.

Winbond's cumulative revenues from January through June reached NT$15.54 billion, a 112% jump from 2009.

Macronix, a maker of NOR flash and mask ROM memory, saw June sales increase 26.3% from NT$2.05 billion a year ago. Accumulated revenues for the first six months reached NT$13.9 billion, a 30% increase from 2009.
