iSuppli to NAND market: Don’t count on second-half revenue growth
8/19/2008
As Micron gears up to battle Hynix for more market share, the research company lowers its 2008 NAND annual flash revenue growth forecast from 9% to “virtually zero,” noting that unless NAND prices stabilize during Q4, even such flat growth may not be possible this year.

Virtualization and multicore x86 CPUs
8/6/2008
The aggressive multicore roadmaps of the x86 chip vendors point to virtualization becoming ubiquitous in the near future. I/O support is the last remaining performance bottleneck for heavily virtualized data-center systems. Fortunately, a number of proven techniques under active development and standardization hope to keep stride with the increasing number of available CPU cores.

CE product demand driving tighter collaboration between CE, IC players, KPMG reports
8/19/2008
The past few years has seen the demand for consumer electronics (CE) products surpass the demand for PCs as global consumers benefit from technological advances in products including TVs, wireless handsets, and automotive applications. This has resulted in a boom for CE manufacturers and given new growth opportunities for semiconductor manufacturers that traditionally focused on PC or communications markets, a new study by KPMG has found.

Inventory days lean, component makers well positioned to benefit, analyst reports
8/18/2008
Inventory days remain toward historically lower levels, particularly for manufacturers of passive components and semiconductors, according to Longbow Research. “When growth does begin to again ramp, component manufacturers are well positioned to benefit from increased product sell-in with lead times short and inventories generally lean at distribution, EMS providers, and at the OEM level,” Analyst Shawn Harrison says.
