Tweakers Australia has posted an article on the Memory Chip Industry

It's all systems go in the Taiwan memory chip line. According to statistics from the Market Intelligence Center (MIC) of the Institute for Information Industry (III), Taiwan's DRAM manufacturers churned out about 19 percent of all DRAM chips produced in 2001. R&D shows no signs of slowing down either: new chips boast faster memory speeds and higher storage capacities. Production capabilities are also being enhanced. Chipmakers have been upgrading their process technologies in order to shrink the die size and bring costs down, while module companies are honing their packing and testing technologies to improve module quality and reliability. In terms of buyer trends, there is a move away from Single Data Rate (SDR) memory modules toward Double Data Rate (DDR) modules. Rambus modules are being squeezed into a niche.
