Kingston believes its shipments of both DRAM and NAND flash products will jump by 35%, sequentially, in the third quarter, in the Asia-Pacific region, thanks to price cuts by Intel, said Scott Chen, vice president of the company's APAC business division.

NAND flash currently occupies 35-40% of the company's revenues, and the company is seeing strong demand in Asia, especially from China, Chen said. China has now contributed about 43% to the company's revenues, followed by Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Chen said Kingston has observed warming demand this month, and he is confident about the company's NAND-flash business outlook for this quarter. NAND-flash sales in the Asia region should grow by 30-35% on-quarter, he noted.

For DRAM-module sales, Chen admitted that demand had been put on hold in the second quarter amid the traditional seasonal downturn and price cuts by Intel. Since the traditional hot season will be arriving, and Intel's price cuts will have a growing impact, Kingston is projecting a healthy outlook for DRAM-module sales, which should see growth of an anticipated 35% in the third quarter.
