Semico sees little future for Rambus memory

Presentations from market research company Semico and Hyundai have cast further
doubts over the future of Rambus memory as a successful PC platform.

At this week's Platform 2000 conference, Sherry Garber, a senior vice president at
Semico Research, claimed that Rambus would only achieve two per cent of the
market during this year, and that by the year 2004, that will shrink to a minority share of
0.1 per cent, along with EDO RAM.

Slides shown by Semico give DDR memory a 57.4 per cent share of the market in
2004, with SDRAM still maintaining a 42.4 per cent of the market.
At the same conference, Fahrad Tabrizi, VP of strategic marketing and product
planning at memory major Hyundai, left little doubt that his company was of the same
opinion about DDR and about Rambus.

His presentation started with a slide titled "DDR moves forward aggressively". At a
panel meeting later in the conference, only Samsung was still maintaining that
Rambus would achieve any kind of dominance in the marketplace. ©
