Rambus.......the other view from Apollo on another thread..
<<This link confirms that the world's largest DRAM manufacturer has inked a licensing agreement with Rambus to use its Yellowstone chip-to-chip technology in next-generation DRAM. Mass production is slated for 2005.
Although nothing is certain, this coincides with Sony's estimated release of Playstation 3, and their new CPU, "Cell".
Presently, Rambus DRAM is in all Sony Playstation 2 devices, in set-top boxes, high-definition TVs in Japan, in networking equipment and in storage (EMC), and has a small share of the PC-DRAM market. RDRAM was litigated into a corner position by Micron and allies, who wished not to provide royalties for Rambus IP to Rambus. Lawsuits over this continue unabated. As a result, Rambus and its shareholders missed out on enormous profits from 1999 to 2005, or so.
Yellowstone, SerDes and Redwood represent new forays in chip-to-chip communications by Rambus. Their incorporation into networking equipment, PC's and video/gaming devices could give Rambus a 2nd shot at rich rewards.
There's a lot of "ifs" and "potential" here. So we'll see if it plays out according to plan, this time. But looking good so far.
