RDRAM output rises at Samsung, Hyundai
Yoonhee Park

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - Anticipating brisk demand, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Hyundai Electronics Co. Ltd. appear likely to expand Rambus DRAM production. Samsung said it will boost RDRAM production fivefold while Hyundai is also considering expanded memory production.

Both companies are betting that RDRAM demand will increase with the introduction of high-performance PCs and game players. The production increase will also challenge DRAM rivals such as NEC Corp. and Infineon Technologies.

Samsung said it will increase production from the current 2 million units per month to 10 million by the second half of the year. The production increase will be supported by expansion of existing plants and plans for new ones. Samsung will focus production on 288-Mbit Rambus DRAMs with twice the capacity of current memory products. The company thinks increased production of higher-capacity memory devices could give it a leg up over competitors.

If RDRAM demand does increase, Hyundai said, it will also expand production. The company is already expanding RDRAM production lines in its Chungju plant.

Expanding RDRAM production there and at its Inchon plants would allow Hyundai some flexibility to adjust RDRAM production according to market requirements, the company said.
