Samsung said it has been ramping up DDR2 memory production to get ready for for Intel¡¦s soon to be released mobile 915 PM and 915 GM chipsets for notebook computers.

Earlier this month, Samsung increased production output of its DDR2 small outline, dual inline memory module (SO-DIMM) for notebook and laptop computers by an additional 45 percent.

¡§While notebooks with the new Intel chipset can use either DDR1 or DDR2 memory devices, Samsung is confident that the overwhelming majority of manufacturers will opt for DDR2 SO-DIMMs because of their strong value proposition,¡¨ said Tom Quinn, senior VP of memory sales and marketing at Samsung Semiconductor, in a statement.

Even though it is new to the notebook space, DDR2 is expected to do well due to its higher speed and lower power feature, capturing 90 percent of notebook memory sales by year end, according to market analysis firm De Dios & Associates.
