KINGMAX stands out with a winning edge
Strengthened by its proprietary PIP semiconductor packaging technology and the advantage of a vertically-integrated industry, Kingmax last year launched the world’s first 4GB SD2.0-complaint, microSDHC, mobile phone memory card. At the same time, Kingmax’s own Super Stick -- the world’s tiniest USB flash drive -- has been upgraded to 4GB capacity and is certified by Microsoft to support Vista ReadyBoost. The advantages of a vertically integrated industry and an excellent relationship with suppliers give Kingmax a unique edge in the research and development of mini flash products. These same factors have also placed Kingmax far ahead of its storage competitors with respect to time-to-market for new products. In fact, all new Kingmax products launched during the 2006 Taipei Computex were highly sought-after throughout 2006.
In 2007, applications in the global storage market have become even more diversified -- all flash applications, including mobile phone, digital camera, DV and most consumer products have been digitalized. Flash drives and memory cards have become essential storage products in this new age of 'digitalized' living. The highly-anticipated, new-generation DDR3 will certainly be a hit in the DRAM market, and at 2007 Computex, Kingmax will once again demonstrate its world-leading technology as it presents a new line of the cutting-edge storage products. Kingmax will be launching 8GB and 16GB SDHC memory cards, and the 8GB Super Stick – the world’s tiniest, lightest USB flash drive, which has been one of the hottest-selling products of its kind since its debut in January 2006. With its waterproof and dustproof capabilities, the Super Stick boasts a classy design. Indeed, the launch of the large-capacity version of the Super Stick will fully satisfy the appetite of consumers requiring enormous data storage. In addition, Kingmax's much-talked-about SSD (Solid State Drive) will make an appearance at this year’s Computex.
Demand for high memory capacity in the Vista operating system and the evolution of high-performance hard disks have prompted the advent of the DDR3 era. At this year’s Taipei Computex, Kingmax will forego the lower 800/1066 specifications and launch a high-end DDR3-1333 memory product. Kingmax DDR3 1333 supports Intel’s latest dual- and quad-core CPU products to achieve fully synchronized high-speed efficiency. Among the new products that meet the requirements of buyers worldwide are also the 2GB DDR2-1066/800/667 memory, 2GB DDR2-667 for notebook computers, and the high-specification 1GB DDR2-667 Micro DIMM.
Kingmax has worked continuously to develop a lead-free manufacturing process. Kingmax now uses lead-free IC chips in its high-quality, DDRII eco-friendly, lead-free memory modules, and has made adjustments to parameters in SMT production lines, such as temperature and welding materials. In addition, Kingmax lead-free memory modules have passed high-temperature reliability testing, are RoHS-compliant, and meet environmental protection requirements of the United States, Japan and China – all while ensuring product performance. For Kingmax, having lead-free manufacturing capability in turn strengthens the development of the company's future competitiveness. Years of experience in semiconductor packaging has given Kingmax the most skillful manufacturing capabilities, which are unmatched by memory manufacturers worldwide. The advent of the DDR3 era has presented the best opportunity for Kingmax to realize its full potential, and we hold the greatest confidence in providing consumers with the best memory products available.
