South Korea’s Samsung Electronics has extended its lead in the segment, according to Gartner Inc.’s DRAM rankings for the second quarter.
Samsung was first in the rankings, followed in order by Hynix, Elpida, Micron, Nanya, Powerchip, ProMOS and Winbond.
''Further down the rankings, Nanya Technology recaptured the No. 5 position it had lost the previous quarter to Taiwanese rival Powerchip Technology. This was because of a sharp drop in Powerchip's branded DRAM sales as the company adjusted its foundry relationship in 2Q10 that it has with Elpida, increasing shipments to the Japanese company,’’ Norwood said. (In order not to double count industry revenue, Gartner tracks branded DRAM sales and excludes these foundry sales.)
Overall DRAM market revenue was up 12.6 percent quarter over quarter to $10.7 billion and up 135 percent compared with the same period last year, according to Gartner.
