I already commented months ago, and extensively on Samsung's reasons for pushing RDRAM: Sept 11, 1999: #reply-11222926 "Samsung would love for Rambus to be the next memory standard. This is simply because they have the industry lead in producing them, relative to the other makers." (from the above reply) As far as the new RDRAM chips, they are still way behind DDR: February 22, 1999: Samsung engineer Hongil Yoon described a gigabit-density DDR design* that operates at 2.5 V and achieves a data rate of 333 Mbits/s.* techweb.com Also, #reply-11209990 "Also you should be aware that Samsung is gearing their SDRAM production to be wire bond option to DDR. This means that they can ramp up DDR very, very quickly, and it also means that any process improvements to their highest production line can be easily tested as DDR." samsungelectronics.com techweb.com My understanding of Samsung's position hasn't changed since before the Camino fiasco. The situation hasn't changed. Samsung would still like to see RDRAM succeed, but success in this has moved further away, not closer. And Samsung still hasn't demonstrated a gigabit RDRAM chip, as far as I know. As long as I am quoting from my predictions of the past, I should remind the thread that I told them that RDRAM used more power than DDR, and that this was a downside in the portable market (though I don't think that this one fact alone was enough to kill that market for Rambus): #reply-11209647 -- Carl
