Higher prices lift Nanya’s revenueBy Lisa Wang / Staff reporterDRAM chipmaker Nanya Technology Corp (南亞科技) yesterday reported NT$7.6 billion (US$274.33 million) in revenue last month, its highest in nearly three years, as robust demand lifted prices. Revenue rose 2.84 percent from April and soared 37.02 percent from a year earlier, as its factories ran at full capacity, Nanya said. Last month’s revenue marked its best May figure, fueled by rising demand for DRAM and NAND flash memory chips, while shipments of SSD continued to climb higher to NT$1.43 billion last month, it said. Adata chairman Simon Chen (陳立白) yesterday said that the company was confident about business prospects in the second quarter and expected revenue to be high in the third quarter. Increasing memory space for mobile phones, servers and PCs, as well as the Chia cryptocurrency craze, has fueled demand for NAND flash memory chips, he said.
