Digitimes - The coronavirus pandemic has been hitting hard the consumer device market, in turn dampening demand for memory. The DRAM and and NAND flash markets are expected to see oversupply last into first-half 2021. But in some other markets, strong demand has fueled sales growth for many companies, such as notebook ODMs whose production is badly needed to support stgay-at-home needs. But notebook ODMs' production has been undermined by component shortages. Tight capacity at 8-inch wafer fabs has been blamed for shortages for some IC parts needed for notebook production.
