Carl,

Did you never hear of supply and demand?

Did you never hear of segmenting the market to maximize profit from those customers prepared to pay a premium for what they perceive to be a premium product? (Think of Rambus as the business class transatlantic air ticket. It may not be a large share of the market, but it sure is profitable!)

Samsung can get 2.5 times the price for RDRAM because it's scarce, and there seem to be plenty of buyers. The RIMM manufactures and retail supply chain are making a killing too! There is a far bigger markup for them because of the restricted supply and strong demand.

If they weren't making money on it, they'd stop making it!
