NEC, Toshiba Suspend Rambus Chip Production On Intel Shipment Delay Wednesday, October 6, 1999 TOKYO (Nikkei)--NEC Corp. (6701), Toshiba Corp. (6502) and other companies are suspending production of Direct Rambus DRAMs, The Nihon Keizai Shimbun learned Tuesday. The Rambus chip is seen as the next big thing in computer memory but demand for use in PCs will likely fall short of expectations since Intel Corp. has pushed back the release date for its 820 chipset. NEC has stopped making Rambus chips and is refitting facilities in Kumamoto and Scotland for synchronous DRAM production. The company had planned to ship about 1 million Rambus chips monthly to PC makers from the October-December quarter. Toshiba halted output of Rambus chips it was making for PCs but will continue producing them for the PlayStation 2 game console to be marketed next spring by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (7930). Samsung Electronics Co. will also refit a plant so it can switch to synchronous DRAM output. Intel was to begin 820 chipset shipments at the end of September but has suspended plans for the moment and is not saying when it might reschedule the release. It is not the first time Intel has delayed the 820's debut. (The Nihon Keizai Shimbun Wednesday morning edition)
