DRAM Makers Try to Catch up with Samsung in Manufacturing Technology Technology Articles | August 30 Wholesale Nike Shoes Online , 2011
According to IHS? DRAM market report, with the DRAM price came to the perilously low levels, if the makers do not transition to the more efficient 3x2x nm process technologies which are already adopted by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and other leading memory suppliers, they might face great losses.
In the third quarter, Samsung?s wafer production at the 3x2x level gets 29% of the market Wholesale Nike Shoes China , which is the highest level among all major DRAM makers so far. Samsung is still being the leader in this field, and until the end of 2012, Samsung will turn nearly 80% wafer production to 3x nm or even more advanced process technologies.
The fellow South Korean competitor, Hynix Semiconductor Inc. wants to catch up with Samsung, and Hynix counts 18% of DRAM production at the same 3x2x nm level Wholesale Nike Basketball Shoes , while although its 25 nm products are still being the early testing stage, Japan?s Elpida Memory Inc. ranked the third and takes 16 percent. Although Hynix and Elpida?the second- and third-ranked entities in revenue market share for the DRAM space?have not approached Samsung?s efficiency in migrating process nodes downward more quickly, such percentage levels suggest an effort to keep up.
While, Micro and Nanya, the current laggards will be hurry their pace to catch up at the end of the next year. At present Wholesale Nike Running Shoes , the main products of these two companies still depend on 42 nm process whose probably cost effective might be kept only for this year. And then, in order to stay competitive, the two companies will need to accelerate their transition to 3xnm.
Since the present DRAM prices are still low, entities, like Powerchip Wholesale Nike Shoes , still adopt 4x5xnm electronic components processes, and according to iSuppli, production at those nodes means a decreasing likelihood of even covering cash costs. The cash cost per packaged 2Gb DDR3 die at 31nm currently stands at $0.68, but the cash cost balloons to $1.34 at 48nm. It is expected that the average selling prices for DRAM might slide even further, and in the Q4 Cheap Nike Shoes Online , it might be down to $1.25. So, any player who continues to produce at the 4xnm node is easy to confront disaster.
To overcome this difficulty, manufacturers need to move quickly and transition process nodes downward. However, this action might bring in some side effect that more DRAM per wafer will be produced as industry players struggle to keep up in the downward-migration race, which is likely to press the prices even more.
Five Great Smaller Pouch Laminators Business Articles | May 24 Cheap Nike Shoes China , 2010 Pouch laminators come in a lot of different sizes and the smallest ones available have feed openings that measure about 4.5 or 9.5 inches.

Pouch laminators come in a lot of different sizes and the smallest ones available have feed openings that measure about 4.5 or 9.5 inches. These machines are good for protecting preserving smaller items, from business cards to letter-sized documents. Here are five great smaller pouch laminators you should take a look at....
1.) The Fellowes EXL 45-2. The EXL 45-2 is Fellowes' smallest laminator, but it's still a high-quality item. This is the perfect machine for laminating I.D. badges, bookmarks Cheap Nike Basketball Shoes , and other small items. It has a 4.5-inch feed opening and it can laminate on both hot and cold settings. (There are two hot settings and one cold.) The EXL 45-2 can accept laminating pouches that are up to 5 mil thick. This machine heats up in just 5 minutes and it can laminate your document in a mere 30 seconds. If you forget to turn it off after use, the EXL 45-2 will shut down on its own to reduce the risk of fire and prevent the motor from overheating. This product is covered by a two-year warranty.
2.) The GBC HeatSeal H110. This is another little laminator that's good for processing those smaller documents. Like the EXL 45-2, this machine has a 4.5-inch feed opening and accepts pouches up to 5 mil thick. It has both hot and cold settings, as well as a 6-minute warm-up time. The H110 is extremely easy to operate. All you need to do is let it warm up and then feed a document into it, so it'd be a good choice if you're new to laminating. You don't need to fiddle with the settings to get a high-quality result Cheap Nike Running Shoes , which is always a good feature to have.
3.) The Tamerica LP-120. If you want a laminator with all-metal construction, this machine is the one to get. This is an extremely durable machine that will last for years. It has a maximum laminating width of 4.7" and it work wells with pouches measuring up to 10 mil thick. It also has variable temperature settings so you have total control over the laminating process. It comes with a 90-day warranty.
4.) The Fellowes Mars ML-95. This Fellowes laminator has a 9.5-inch feed opening so you'll be able to laminate documents that are up to 9 inches wide, such as those printed on letter- or legal-sized paper. This device can handle pouches with a maximum thickness of 3 mil and it will warm up in about 8 minutes. It has two rollers so all of your documents will look perfect and not have any wrinkles or bubbles. The ML-95 can process 11" of material per minute so you'll be able to laminate your items quickly.
