Elpida Memory is considering undertaking another capacity-cut strategy for its commodity DRAM production by 25%.

Elpida previously unveiled plans to accelerate technology transition to 30nm and below processes at its Hiroshima plant, and also transfer some of its in-house capacity to Taiwan-based subsidiary Rexchip Electronics. The moves are to reduce its manufacturing costs and combat the appreciation of the Japanese yen.

Elpida is currently the world's third-largest DRAM chipmaker by revenues after Samsung Electronics and Hynix Semiconductor.
