[Staff]

Quello delle memorie flash è un mercato per certi versi diverso rispetto a quello dei microprocessori, una notizia di oggi è che Intel avrebbe perso il 4% delle proprie quote di mercato a favore di AMD. Ecco la notizia comparsa un'ora fa su <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=581&e=1&cid=581&u=/nm/20030307/tc_nm/tech_intel_stocks_dc" target="_blank">Yahoo! News</a>:
<blockquote><i>NEW YORK (Reuters) - Shares of Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) fell more than 4 percent in early trading Friday, a day after the company said it was losing market share due to price hikes in flash memory.<br><br>The extent to which flash revenues have declined surprised us," said Merrill Lynch microchip industry analyst Joe Osha in a report titled, "So much for the flash price hike." Osha said Intel's strategy of increasing prices for flash memory, a type of computer memory popular in cell phones and other electronics, may have backfired and sent business to rivals. </blockquote></i>
