FORBES: Why Growth In Mobile Devices Will Fuel Micron's DRAM Shipments
Falling prices for everything from the DRAM memory used to make PCs run faster to the NAND flash memory powering digital media players--have sent Micron's shares down 59% over the past year and about 74% over the past two years.
In June 2006, Samsung released the first flash-memory based PCs, the Q1-SSD and Q30-SSD, both of which used 32 GB solid-state devices.

To the extent 2011 sees lower year-over-year growth than originally forecasted, we would expect to see that demand pushed into 2012, because of the fundamental drivers, from the standpoint of expansion of network services, the cloud and new applications for NAND flash memory in PCs will continue to evolve and drive the industry.

Like all digital products, mobile devices, including smartphones and tablet PCs, rely on high-speed memory to supply the main processor with essential instructions and frequently requested data.

This February, the sales of DRAM memory chips, a type used extensively in PCs, rose by nearly 24% compared with the previous month, as prices continued to rise.
For portable computing, Fujitsu's brought the Lifebook AH Series of 15.6-inch PCs, with Core i7-3632QM processors, 8GB memory and Full HD IPS touchscreens on the high-end models, along with niceties like Pioneer speakers and Blu-ray drives.
Gamers cannot customise consoles, but they can, and do, upgrade their PCs regularly with faster processors, graphics cards, extra memory, and anything else that will give them an edge over their opponents on the virtual field of honour.
Going forward Toshiba expects to bring the new memory element to STT-MRAM cache memory for mobile processors integrated into smartphones and tablet PCs, and will promote accelerated research and development toward that end.

Increasingly, PCs are being supplanted by tablet computers which use NAND or flash memory chips rather than hard discs found in desktop and laptop computers.
Lately, companies such as STEC have been improving solid-state memory so that it better suits larger scale equipment such as PCs and servers--Seagate's sweet spot.
PCs, but within limits: faster or slower processors, more or less memory, but not their own colour or trim.
Singapore makes lots of other electronics devices: printers, CD-ROM drives, DVD drives and printed circuit boards -- not to mention DRAMs (memory chips) and the sound cards and graphics cards found in PCs.
Micron has been working to diversify its operations, with more of its operations focusing on producing a type of memory used in smartphones and tablets, which are growing much faster than PCs.
Back in the day we were asking our PCs to do the heavy lifting of running those resource intensive client-server applications that required lots of memory, local hard drive space and processing power.
Looking ahead, demand for memory chips is expected to be stifled in the first quarter, due to the seasonably weak demand for PCs and mobile devices.
