Don,

Re: "It certainly is no indication of commercial viability, and being low end, it says nothing about performance"

I pointed out the Samsung announcement in response to Skeeter's doubts of RMBS cutting it in the low end market. I think this is about as low end as it goes. He said:

"the only chance it has to come down in cost is to take over the low and medium pc end of the business and the server business - the same areas where intel said it didn't see rmbs"

In the high performance arena, you just have to notice that Willamette is optimised for RMBS to see where the market for DRAM is headed. The 4-way multiprocessing modular chipset (I think it is the Tehama) from Intel supports Willamette and Itanium and Rambus. So I guess that covers the performance end of the market.

Then we have the 820 and the 840 in the midrange. So that pretty much covers the entire PC industry. Look now for Rambus announcements in the field of comms and other non PC devices (like PlayStation).
