PSC Monthly Sales Report ¡V January 2008

Hsinchu, Taiwan¡ÐPowerchip Semiconductor Corporation (PSC, ticker 5346) announced the unaudited net sales of 5.442 billion NT dollars for January 2008, representing a 25.6 % increase month on month.

PSC Vice President and Spokesperson Mr. Eric Tang stated despite DRAM spot price weakness, January shipments increased significantly versus December, resulting in a increase in sales of 25.6%.  As 70nm yields continue to improve, full utilization is realized at PSC¡¦s three fabs (P1, P2 & P3), and Rexchip, the Joint Venture with Japan¡¦s Elpida having reached economies of scale, all contributing to the competitive cost structure of PSC.

Furthermore, Mr. Eric Tang pointed out that, as PSC¡¦s 70nm technology further matures, 1Gb DDR2 DRAM shipments proportion will also increase.  And as the PC market demand shifts to higher density products, replacing 512Mb as the mainstream chip density marking a critical point for DRAM manufacturers and their ability to return to profitability.
