    DRAM used in tablet PC in this year will receive a growth of 147%

    According to research firm iSuppli IHS, 2011 the tablet PC DRAM 147% 274MB growth than last year, the average reach 676MB.

    But by 2015, tablet PC DRAM content will be close to today’s laptop, achieve 3.7 GB or so, 2010-2015 compound annual growth rate, 68%.

    Although this tablet PC DRAM content, but if apple soared recently launched iPad 2 have whole 1GB DRAM, similar to the iPad, then increase competitive products should be greater. Previous assumptions seem to think iPad 2 should contain 1GB DRAM, rather than 512MB. MOTOROLA launched Xoom TouchPad, HP, and introduced the true BlackBerry Playbook are introduced In competition with the iPad, are the products, contain 1GB DRAM.

    But IHS companies think, considering apple tried to concentrate on overall tablet experience, but don’t pay attention to product arguments, its flat contains only 512MB DRAM actually not surprising. Meanwhile, since apple currently in tablet market advantage, and 512MB iPad DRAM content, means the overall growth of DRAM this year than apple chooses the 1GB DRAM much smaller.

    Meanwhile, the market next edition 5566 iPad may adopt Retina display, similar to the camera and iPod Touch apple iPhone 4. IHS company forecast, if that is so, then DRAM content will certainly to 1GB and change the above scenario, causing the tablet PC DRAM content more strong growth. Apple iOS future operating system, and also introduced the iPad would release function, and need more DRAM.

    And tablet computer market similar smart phones this year, is expected to grow 62%, DRAM content is expected to grow by 33% tablet computer. IHS iSuppli’s research shows that the company in 2012 and 2013 or so, tablet computer will become the main application fields, DRAM dash smartphone. Although each tablet and smartphone cooperation DRAM less than PCS, but flat and smartphone 2011 than PC, total shipments of concern is therefore DRAM market.

    So far Japanese earthquakes have not affect the supply of product accessories

    Japan’s biggest consumer electronics exporters SONY 6 factories shut; Canon, nikon two global optical equipment giants hit production equipment; The world’s second-largest NAND flash memory chip suppliers Toshiba up the production of…… In Japan, has always been not before the earthquake peace again busy IT circle condition.

    The global IT all up and down, and industrial with consumer mass fracture most closely electronic terminal equipment is being spread of aftershocks. Market research institutions IHSiSuppli) recently released report, about 20% of global semiconductor and 40% by Japanese manufacturing flash memory chip, affected by the quake, high-end SLR camera started retailer, electronic terminals accessories, lithium battery even more nervous fashionable whole world apple will face critical parts supply shortages.

    Meanwhile, the domestic enterprise “logistics interrupt” crisis emerging. “Japan encounter of the quake, the man E E of impact also nots allow to ignore.” One person one FangLiYong tells a reporter, the COO as the world’s first computer, E man handwritten by pen input control this E way to the original handwriting handwritten technology as the core, the original handwriting text real user presented in a computer screen, and the important person E E of from Japan, it is one of the fittings of electromagnetic Wacom screen and handwritten pen.

    But FangLiYong also revealed that as things stand, earthquake temporarily haven’t affect E man E this parts supply. “Wacom is E man E this heavyweight partner, after the earthquake, we are very worried about its status, the first time instead of condolence to the Wacom contact in the report peaceful, also expressed by one person this company’s attention, will be preferential ensure E man.” the normal supply E FangLiYong speech, E man E this in the second generation product listings had experienced similar parts supply “crisis”, now, the E man E this T3 has prepared for this, “we have been closely following Wacom trend, and they always communication, both assessment possible products supply shortage problem, and timely planning, executable solutions.” The reporter understands, as users demand growth, E man E this is expanding the scale of 4S experience shops, currently E people already has been completed this E 600 4S inn construction, covering shandong, Beijing, Shanghai, guangdong, zhejiang, chongqing, xinjiang and nearly 30 provinces and cities nationwide. In addition, E people in extensive contact with the E leading domestic ERP manufacturers, will be in planning, procurement, production, inventory, sales and other each work procedure and warning, in order to set up the immediate crisis response and timely adjust. “Mature EPR management mechanism is E man E this’ solid backing swiftness ‘.” FangLiYong said.

    By spare parts supply shortages affect, the reporter also found that domestic numerous electronic manufacturer and channel shangdu began rises in price considerably, rose highest to 20%. “Recently I see now, the tablet computer rose 500 yuan, so ridiculous.” A zheng told reporters. To this, FangLiYong also made it clear that consumer fears of stock price to domestic manufacturers hype, but E worke.

    Hybrid hard drive will pull the production of “fat tablet computer”

    According to two storage specialized manufacturer points out, in the movement, there will be a 25% of laptops and half of the desktop system will adopt new data storage style with collocation flash and traditional hard drive to improve overall performance. Flash disk than the cost of tie-in and lower the price competition SSD 590 series.

    Coughlin Associates CEO Tom Coughlin and order is a Handy, says analyst Jim SSD 590 series quieter, though more rapidly and more seismic resistance, but due to the relatively high prices, making hard disk in the coming years will still dominate the PC market.

    NAND flash memory is currently iPad and iPhONe, the main memory chip within SSD 590 series, it can provide hard disk and a high-performance DRAM memory cache between with buffer layer. Using quick flash will become more and more important, because DRAM and alternate storage as hard disk exist between increasing “performance gap”. Extra cache will allow provide temporary space hard drive to reduce the pressure, the tie-in way also can reduce power consumption of the system.

    “This way will not replace hard disk, flash will allow customers keep low cost of the hard drive, enjoy the performance improved” close to SSD 590 series, the report points out, “it needs the amount of flash memory is not big, therefore users enjoy advantages in the also do not need to pay a high price.” “Collocation type Storage (Paired Storage)” refers to the flash memory chip is mixed with hard disk together, in fact it had used in data centers and high performance computing operations.

    At present the implications of many ways, is also included in the motherboard for use on hybrid hardware and flash memory. Now the only Seagate production hybrid hard drive, but analysts expect most of the hard disk manufacturers will follow.

    Analysts still expect the innovation will drive new tablet computer, as a tablet computer generated this year’s hottest consumer products. This new device tentatively called the “fat tablet computer (fat tablet),” which combined with flash memory and hard drive, because the existing tablet PCS with lack of business affairs personage needed some users of the powerful features. Analysts predict to in 2016, tablet PC market in there will be 40% is “fat tablet computer”.
