Hi Dave B; Re "You originally claimed Scumbria's numbers for RIMMs were correct because they sold for high multiples, justifying his pricing."
I'm pretty sure that I never said that, or at least never intended to. [Please provide a link if you want to dispute this. It isn't my job to go searching the net for links. I do make mistakes, but I don't think this is one of them.]
As I've stated before, designers intending to use RDRAM or RIMM (or SDRAM or DIMM) in a design are going to use about a 4 to 1 multiple when estimating the retail price from the COGS.

P.S. As long as we're on the subject, I do have problems with Clinton's ethics, but that doesn't have much to do with this thread. I expect the leader of the free world to carry on his business with higher standards. I don't expect that everything he says will be perfectly honest and free of errors (nor do I expect that from the posters on this thread), but I do expect that he won't repeatedly state that which is not true in a court of law. If you want to accuse Scumbria of something, provide links to the particular posts you are complaining about, and place the offending statements in quotes. Otherwise you are just making noise. Scumbria really doesn't mind this. But assume that he is (suddenly) of good character, and wants to see the error of his ways. How is he going to do it without your links showing the way? The same with the casual reader of the thread. Without quotes, your argument that he is unethical, etc., looks empty. I'm not saying this to cut down your argument. What I am saying is that it has been so long that all you two have said is "you did too", "did not", that most of the readers have forgotten what the issue at hand was. |
