A recent report by research firm iSuppli has shown that US-based memory-maker Kingston was still ranked No. 1 with global revenue of $2.85 billion in 2009, giving it 40.3 percent of the total third-party memory module market.
Taiwanese memory provider ADATA was ranked second with $524 million dollars in revenue for the same year.
“It’s is not surprising,” Ann Bai, DRAM memory sales director for APAC Region at Kingston, told NEWSBYTES.ph in an exclusive interview in a café at Taipei 101 during this year’s Computex, Asia’s largest tech trade show.
“Through the years we’ve maintained our top position in the memory market. In fact, in the DRAM memory segment alone, we’ve now captured at least 40 percent of the market.” Bai added.
Bai presented to NEWSBYTES.ph their latest computer memory modules, which is also said as the fastest DDR3 triple-channel, Intel-certified memory, running at 2333MHz.
The Kingston’s HyperX triple-channel DDR3 memory kit has gained Intel XMP certification on the Core i7 platform. Along with the 2250MHz 6GB kits for enthusiasts, gamers and benchmarkers who want to push memory speed to the maximum.
These memory modules will be available in the market anytime soon, according to the Kingston executive.
In line with the subject, Bai also demonstrated to NEWSBYTES.ph the world’s first, fastest ultra low-voltage performance memory dubbed Kingston LoVo, a low-voltage HyperX DDR3 high-performance memory module, which was earlier announced in March. In addition, Bai also introduced a new line called HyperX Blu — an entry-level HyperX memory modules for overclockers and gamers.
Other Kingston executives were also at the roundtable interview, namely, Nathan Su, sales director for Flash memory, Eric Tu, product manager for Flash memory, and Kai Wang of marketing communications.
According to Nathan Su, Kingston is currently eyeing the SSD market, which he said is the inevitable successor to the mechanical hard disk drive.
“As you can see we already have several products for the SSD market,” said Su. “We see SSD very promising and this year is certainly a year of breakthroughs.”
“At Kingston, we currently offer affordable SSDNow product kit upgrades at 64GB and 128GB sizes,” Su added.
SSDNow is a product kit for notebook and desktop PC users to easily upgrade their boot drive (where the operating system resides) from the typical mechanical hard disk to a solid-state drive without spending too much time reinstalling the entire system. The Kingston kit comes with clone software for easy data migration, according to the executive.
The iSuppli report covers memory module revenue only. It does not cover Kingston’s NAND Flash revenues.
In February, Kingston announced that its 2009 global revenues were $4.1 billion, and despite the global economic slowdown, it was the second highest in the company’s history.
