Michael Thomas,

I saw your patent posts and I agree with your inference that RMBS is a Johnny Come Lately in the design of DRAM memory cores.

As best I can tell (and I'm no patent expert) they have the basic patent for a gimmick bus circuit design that has no reasonable use in today's market. They have a handful of ancillary patents related to DRAM cores, but they appear to be of questionable validity and importance. But then, at least for the moment they still have some INTC support.

Conversely, RMTR has base patents in two segments of the memory market with substantial potential. They don't have INTC, but I am not too sure that's a bad thing.

INTC has clearly arrived at the point at which they have too many chiefs (with poor vision) and too much money. Its unfortunate but as far as semiconductors are concerned INTC is no longer producing valuable major innovations for the consumer. The Cash Cow has gotten too big and their motivation is predominately "milking".

Its tough to be a dairy farmer and tribal hunter at the same time. They'll find lots of good IP all right. The Cash Cow attracts IP "game" like wolves to the herd. But the quality of that IP is often too wild and wolf-like.

It usually comes with lots of teeth and fur, but very little beef. ...In some cases, it even turns out to be a sheep in wolf's clothing like RMBS. :8)
