  16. Component Transition Guideline Component Optimization Cadence CPU Target: CPU Qty reduced from 5X to 2X by Oct-31 Phase I Phase II HDD Target: Phase out 40G by end of Oct transition 40G demand to 80G ODD Target: Phase out CDRW & increase DVD Mix Phase III FDD Target: Introduce USB memory key as alternative to FDD, reduce FDD mix Graphic Adaptor Target: Qty reduced from current 7 to 4

  17. Component Transition Guideline HDD Optimization Phase out 40G by end of Oct and transit 40G to 80G!! • Procurement Cost Trend dashboard • 40G – very limited price down trend, serious shortage due to current industry supply capacity deteriorates. • Purchase percentage of 40G SATA from Hitachi is 60% whilst WD 40%. Hitachi plan to phase out 40G HDD in CYQ4. Supply issue is getting worse • 80GB is already becoming entry point capacity. Procurement cost gap between 40G SATA and 80G SATA is $2.6 this quarter and will become $1.5 next quarter In EMEA and AG,40G share show higher than industry, have supply risk
