Option 2: Korea(Hynix) only-->way expensive DRAM

Micron's Borad of Directors visited Taiwan last week to seek for bailout from Taiwan by transferring 50nm technology to ProMos. I don't know what really goes one. But, Taiwan DRAM makers are accounted for 39.5% of global DRAM manufacturing capacity while Hynix is accounted for 39.5% as well. The bailout is meaningful, however, if Micron and Elpida will transfer technologies to Taiwan. This is how option one is feasible and worth of the bailout.]]>Dec 24th 2008 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/taiwans-proposed-dram-industry-bailout-puts-the-word-global-i/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/taiwans-proposed-dram-industry-bailout-puts-the-word-global-i/Dec 25th 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/taiwans-proposed-dram-industry-bailout-puts-the-word-global-i/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/taiwans-proposed-dram-industry-bailout-puts-the-word-global-i/
