milo (rhymes w/ Bilow):
Thanks for posting the JEDEC link...it provided memories of last May, when I scrolled down the page and found the famous DDR Summit link.
jedec.org
All you have to do is register (no worries, its free; any old information will do, hell, you could even register as bi-scumb) and then you can access this beauty contest. The best part:
Sponsored by: CMP/EE Times, CMP/EB News, AMD, Micron, Infineon, Ali, Nvidia, Via, Silicon Tech, Mitsubishi, NEC and Mosel.
Featured speakers include: Richard Wallace, VP / Managing Director of CMP Media, among others...
And of course, Jack Robertson as featured speaker, moderator, round-table discussion participant and all around cheerleader. LOL.
And of course, AMD and its platform takes CENTER STAGE.
But the BEST part: the Mission Impossible music! LOL! Goes hand in hand w/ scumbria and hiblow's need for clandestine operations while they reach their hands into our collective pockets. LOL!!
Yep, this is a battle for the hearts and minds of the VAR / box builder decision makers, designers, etc. All w/ one ultimate purpose: influence INTC to abandon its memory roadmap.
And what power does CMP pack? Just take a look at their website, and scroll down to the bottom to see the greater than 50 websites that they control:
cmp.com
Or better yet, go to their "About Us" page to understand their impressive ability to drive home the marketing solution (eg. influence the collective mindset) du jour that their customer has requested:
cmp.com
"....Capitalizing on its editorial strength, CMP is uniquely positioned to offer marketers comprehensive, multiple media solutions tailored to meet their individual needs. Its diverse products and services include newspapers, magazines, Internet products, research, direct marketing services, education and training, trade shows and conferences, custom publishing, testing and consulting."
One could speculate that the original customer here was AMD, but now IFX, Mu and Hyundai have also signed up. Hell, maybe RMBS will sign up when they get sufficiently anxious to market their corporate image <grin>.
Just my speculative opinion,
BP
PS One additional touch of irony: You too can access this link STRAIGHT from the JEDEC website! ROTFLMAO!!! |
