The poor sales of PC desktops and the rise of the NAND market is forcing Chaintech to change the way they will do business in the future.

DRAM module maker Walton Chaintech recently said it will enter the NAND flash market while planning to launch a second brand for the entry-level PC module market.

It seems that this move will force Chaintech to exit the motherboard market as they are trying to test their chances in the NAND market. They will still produce motherboards but the division will be transformed when Chaintech will enter the NAND market.

The DRAM module business currently accounts for half of Chaintech’s sales and the proportion of its memory products will be increased significantly in the future.

Why are they not entering the NAND market now you are probably wondering?

Because Walton Chaintech said that they will wait until the NAND flash prices stabilize before it enters the memory business market.

Walton Chaintech will wait until the NAND flash prices become stable before it enters the NAND flash market, with future testing, packaging and module assembly to be done by its parent company Walton Advanced Engineering.

This will add Chaintech to SiS which announced in May that they will offer their DRAM memory products after being the largest core-logic producers in Taiwan.
