5大集团整合为4大集团2008年4月下旬,全球DRAM行业卷起一股强烈的整合风暴。占有全球DRAM市场14.1%份额的第三大企业——Elpida公司和占有10.5%市场份额的第五大企业——奇梦达公司发表了技术合作的声明。他们将共同开发40nm以下,即领先目前水平2代的30nm DRAM,并签订了包括设计和工艺技术在内的两公司所有IP的自由交叉授权协议,未来还可能深入到建立合资工厂、生产彼此的产品,甚至统一经营。
5 large groups integrated into 4 groups In late April 2008, the global DRAM industry rolled up a strong storm of consolidation. Qimonda, the third-largest company that holds 14.1% of the global DRAM market, Elpida Inc. and the fifth largest company with a 10.5% market share, issued a statement of technical cooperation. They will work together to develop 30nm DRAMs below 40nm, two generations ahead of the current level, and sign a free cross-licensing agreement for all IPs of both companies, including design and process technology. In the future, they may also go deep into establishing joint-venture factories to produce each other’s Products, and even unified management.
