2023 Memory Downturn, Recovery, Causes and Effects

We show the cause and effects of the current downturn in the memory markets. This downturn includes the first YoY decrease in bit sales in market history and massive losses by memory companies.

The data will show that this was not due to massive consumer market collapse but due to excessive inventory and unreasonable planning by memory companies. The end result will be that total bits shipped 2020-2023 will be the SAME amount we predicted in 2019. Unfortunately, the price collapse caused by excessive supply is lost income for the memory companies that cannot be recovered

When will it recover? What will the recovery look like? How can we take simple steps to prevent this in the future? We have the answers!

Second Presentation OMEM-201-1. Wednesday 830AM Ballroom E

Emerging Memory: The Calm After the Storm

“Emerging memories” are not really emerging. Some are here. Some have peaked and are now planning  their way out. Some are in research but are 10 years from revenue. They are also not “disruptive memories”. They are not replacing DRAM or NAND. Maybe NOR ... but no Christensen effect coming soon

We now have a calm after the “Optane”, “replace NAND”, “replace DRAM” storm. 

MRAM, ReRAM, PC-RAM, FeRAM are here today. They have applications where they are optimal and where they can grow. The technologies are being integrated into foundry processes. With Chiplet technology, you can put them on a module and flex the amount of memory used. What are the best uses and most cost effective applications? We present some ideas.

Revenue from “Emerging memory” will never be $30B+ as predicted by some other analysts. it will be 10x smaller than that. Specific applications will allow revenue to steadily grow to over a billion in the next several years.
