This deal ackowledges the fact that Qimonda will go under sometime this year. |

Editor response: Not under but acquired. There is a deal brewing right now in that respect and the other party is a North America-based manufacturer of DRAM, NAND and CMOS image sensors! Expect the announcement very soon as negotiations and especially price are almost done. A certain executive from Qimonda has had to cancel a trip to a tech conference in San Jose next week as things get finalized. |

The finance people (not involved) think that there is a flexible route for Micron that keeps the $2 billion cash intact. Its share based deal on the back of Infineon having a stake that keeps value down. Infineon needs an exit and Micron has the door open. |

If this is right, then Micron has 3x 300MM DRAM fabs in Taiwan. Two 300mm fabs in Singapore and a 300mm fab in Europe. Correct me, but Samsung or Hynix doesnt have any of that??? |

Although Qimonda has a good price at this moment, where will the buyer take the money from? |

Doesn't MU use stack and Qimonda use trench technology for DRAM? Do you still believe MU would acquire QI? |

Nanya has denied the report: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Nanya-to-Dismiss-Partnership-With-Micron-79264.shtml
"According to Nanya's spokesman, the report is anything but accurate and was surely not issued by the two companies' officials. "The [DRAM] industry is in such a difficult situation right now, so there are a lot of rumors. This is just one of those rumors and it is not true," said Pai Pei-lin, a vice president and spokesman of Nanya Technology." |

Nanya's spokesman statement was the "anything but accurate." Appears the report of a joint venture was true. |
