- Samsung, the today’s largest DRAM manufacturer, which produces 10 million "128-bit equivalents" of DDR SDRAM per month, is planning to increase the production up to 15 million (i.e. by 50%).
- One more large manufacturer, Micron, is going to double the production of DDR memory chips, although its rates are somewhat lower than those of Samsung. The production will be increased from 1 million per month to 2 million "128-bit equivalents" of DDR SDRAM.
- Well-known Taiwanese Nanya Company, which is rumored to be adding its chips to the i845 B-Step based mainboard packages, is going to triple (!) the production from the current 4 million "128-bit equivalents" of DDR SDRAM up to 12 million.
- Even the notorious Hynix, which we have nearly called bankrupt didn’t remain uninvolved. By the New Year they will increase their production of DDR memory from 3.5 million to 7 million "128-bit equivalents" of DDR SDRAM.
