Embedded DRAM will have even more spectacular growth. New opportunities are emerging for DRAM vendors along with the radical changes caused by the segmentation of the DRAM market. The DRAM market is consolidating as vendors combine resources. DRAM technology is advancing faster than many of its emerging applications. The cost to stay competitive in the DRAM market increases as the market fragments, requiring many different types and densities.
Some applications require higher performance, lower power, and smaller or non-standard densities.
This is the opportunity for DRAM vendors to specialize in niche markets. Not only are there various types of DRAMs, there are DRAMs integrated with logic. The embedded DRAM market is evolving. Unit growth for the nascent embedded DRAM market is a whopping 78.7 percent. Semico is confident in the future growth of embedded memory.
