With Great Power comes Great Responsibility
It’s easy to fall into despair when looking at the semiconductor market: Contradictory messages from market analysts depending on the market segment they are looking at, looming tariffs, imminent discontinuations are just some of the news that we faced in the past weeks.
But in challenging times, we all should remember that the electronics industry is at the heart of the world as we know it. And its role (and power) is only going to get bigger!
Not surprisingly, Yole Intelligence sees the semiconductor devices industry back on track to reach $1 trillion in 2030. But it’s not a sure-fire success. To navigate the market conditions, relevant information and staying on top of developments has never been more important.?
So we took Spiderman’s motto, with great power comes great responsibility, to heart and since we are the Memory Competence Center, we are starting a webinar series in which we are sharing market insights and our view on trends in memory technologies and the applications that are driving them.
Another opportunity to exchange market views and memory insights is embedded world. From March 11 to 13 you can find us again in hall 1-340.
We invite you to join us at the show. You can find your ticket code below.
DDR3 & DDR4 Discontinuations by end of 2025
According to recent reports from DIGITIMES Asia , the three major DRAM manufacturers, #Samsung, #SkHynix and #Micron, might cease production of DDR3 and DDR4 by the end of 2025 as a reaction to falling prices and weak demand. This might lead to supply shortages in the second half of 2025.
Nanya Technology predicts the DRAM market will bottom out in the first half of 2025. Winbond on the other hand is advancing its manufacturing to a 16nm process as a reaction to the weak demand for mature DDR products.
