14 DAY TRIAL // One would think that after buying a company whose memory market share exceeded its own, Micron would strive to further increase it.
Instead, Digitimes reports, the corporation intends to leave market share where it is, and try to make more profit instead.
This could put a damper on that rumor that Samsung's position as top DRAM supplier could be in danger.
Then again, Micron could very easily feel that it is unlikely that it will supplant Samsung there any time soon, so it won't bother.
Instead, it will make high-value products, meaning that R&D will get a new stream of investments.
That means that new memory chips, modules and kits should come out over the next few weeks, with good price-performance ratings. Maybe it will even get people sold on more expensive hardware somehow. I imagine that an answer to that dilemma will come in time for IFA 2013.
