As far as I know MSD has Patents on SDRAM. Intel is pushing for
RDRAM to be the next standard in memory. Also Samsung and other
major DRAM manus are looking at
Dubbed Synchronous-II, the memory chips from Samsung
will use a technology known as Double Data Rate
(DDR), which will let the chips pump out data at
twice the rate of their internal clock speed. A
300-megahertz Synchronous-II chip, for instance, will
be able to transfer data to the microprocessor at 2.4
gigabytes per second, said Bob Eminian, director of
strategic marketing and applications at Samsung
Semiconductor, San Jose, Calif. Other chip companies
backing the technology include Fujitsu, NEC, Texas
Instruments, Micron, Toshiba and Hitachi.
Also MSD acq a chunk of land for a new HQ or sothing like that.
