The company also recorded net income of $322 million for the first quarter which is a 53 percent increase from the previous quarter's $210 million.
The sequential decrease in the revenue and operating profit was mainly due to a strong price decline in DRAM market that could not be completely offset by increased bit growth and reduced unit cost.
