Carl and Scumbria,

Mr Gwennap added that when Intel began work on Timna two years ago, the trend in PC markets was toward sharply lower prices and it seemed that $400 PCs would be selling in large volumes by 2000.

At such low price points, an integrated chip such as Timna would have saved PC makers a significant amount in manufacturing costs.

But the sub-$500 PC market failed to become a large segment of the overall PC market.


Again, since you guys like to blame Rambus for everything, we'll start checking the reasons given for cancelling Timna. So far we have one for "sub-$500 PC market failed to become a large segment of the overall PC market."

Therefore no need for Timna, whether it's RDRAM-based or SDRAM-based.
