ProMOS Technologies has reported a sequential sales drop for May 2010, due to sluggish prices for DDR2 chips.
ProMOS saw May revenues slide 8.2% on month to NT$2.05 billion (US$63 million). The DRAM maker said its overall output started to increase substantially in May, but weakening DDR2 prices caused revenues for the month to drop slightly.
ProMOS will not kick off mass production of 2Gb DDR3 chips using Elpida Memory's 63nm process until August, the Taiwan DRAM maker was quoted in previous reports.
In related news, average spot prices for eTT 1Gb DDR2 chips grew to US$2.39 on June 4, after having slid to US$2.10 on June 1, according to the latest data. Meanwhile, prices for eTT 1Gb DDR3 rose to US$2.60 last Friday from US$2.55 Tuesday.
