DRAM prices up in second quarter
The firm said worldwide DRAM shipments grew by 15.5 per cent in Q2, compared to the first quarter of 2006. "Tight supply" of DDR and DDR2 in Q2 led to an increased average selling price.
But global capacity in Q2 was boosted by the Taiwanese Dramurai - ProMOS and PowerChip. These two are in league with Japanese Elpida and Korean Hynix, respectively.
Chinese player SMIC lost a decline in market share during Q2, according to this DRAM Exchange data below - showing revenues, including foundry revenues, in $000s.

These figures appear to show that US memory maker Micron (tick: MU) hasn't done at all well increasing its share. Qimonda is the spun off division of Infineon. µ
