The shipment performances of Smartphones, Tablets, and Notebooks were relatively weak in the first quarter due to seasonality, according to DRAMeXchange, the memory and storage research division of TrendForce. As a result of the entire NAND Flash market’s oversupply in 1Q 2014, the branded suppliers’ Q1 revenues saw a 6.6% drop compared to the previous quarter, and slid to approximately US$ 7,244 million.
