According to the research of iSuppli, the tablet computer will drive the development of DRAM industry in the year of 2011. The shipment of tablet used DRAM will increase eight times in this year, which will reach 353.3 millon Gb. This situation will not change in future several years, and the shipment will grow to one billion in 2012. The robust shipment in the tablet computer field makes a stark contrast with the entire DRAM market.

The price of is reducing continually; therefore, all the sales of DRAM decreased.
However, the DRAM industry must gain the help of this device. It is not doubt that tablet computer is the highlight of this year’s consumer electronics show. Many brand, such as Samsung and Dell, have released the similar products to weaken the status of iPad. Generally, its shipment will be 57.2 million sets in this year, which is more than 2010.

Although this device brings the memory industry with many opportunities, some DRAM companies still worry about this device. First is the quantity of DRAM that used by the tablet computer. Many charming tablet computers are exhibited on this year’s consumer electronics show. They contain the 1GB movable DRAM which is less than the capacity of last year. What is more, many computers use the expensive movable DRAM, and some also use the ARM microprocessor or commodity type DRAM. The profit of commodity type is low, so this tendency may be harmful to the DRAM companies.

Secondly, some people worry that the new device will tamp down the sales of personal computer and netbook. The function of the netbook is similar with tablet computer. Although the price of netbook is comparatively low, the light weight and long service life of the tablet computer make it more attractive. The netbook is facing the serious threat at the present time. The related integrated circuit is 73S1210F.
