ReviewsSupply of high-density NOR flash said to be tight.
In addition to supply trailing demand for low-density parts, the NOR flash memory market is experiencing tight supply of high-density parts (above 8 Mbit) from the two leading makers, Intel and Spansion, and the situation is not expected to ease until the first quarter of 2006, according to industry players.
Supply of low-density NOR flash chips including 4Mbit and 8Mbit parts has been lagging behind demand for the past few weeks, buoyed by surging consumer electronics demand, the sources noted.
