Hi Gene:
Just as you left out the RDRAM part in your excerpts, the CMP rag emphasized the (future) DDR, while de-emphasizing RDRAM, which Kingston is making HERE and NOW. Indeed, many of Mr. Sun's quotes mention RDRAM and DDR together. Some biases never change... <ggg>
<<..."Kingston is investing in new CSP [chip-scale packaging]-capable manufacturing equipment to ensure that all manufacturing centers will be ready to build more synchronous, Rambus, and DDR modules today while also being enabled for volume production of next-generation memory modules," said David Sun, co-founder of Kingston Technology. "Kingston currently ships over two million modules per month, and we want to ensure that additional manufacturing capacity is available worldwide to support strong unit shipment growth for both the Kingston branded and our OEM memory divisions.....Kingston is also focusing on production test flows, capacity, and cost, which are critical for the ramp of any new memory technology," Sun said....
The company is also working on its Rambus DRAM module offering as well. "Kingston's collaboration with Intel Corp. in the development of a low-cost RIMM [Rambus in-line memory module] tester has met all our initial goals," said Steven Chen, vice-president of the company's Technology & Test Engineering Division. "As a result, we are confident that we can apply the lessons we've learned in developing a similar tester for DDR DIMM modules." >>
