Following its diversification strategy aimed at non PC markets, Qimonda now offers in Europe also a dedicated product portfolio and service support for those markets. Qimonda’s extensive portfolio is based on power saving DRAM products, innovative package and module designs and aims at automation and control products, IPCs, embedded computer, robotics, telecom or datacom infrastructures and industrial networking.
Compared with DRAM for PCs, these applications demand higher reliability, robustness (with an expanded temperature range) and power efficiency combined with superior performance. Especially important for these markets is confidence in product availability and extended product life cycles.
