Predictions:
By Year End 2009:
- Sarah P. will not become a female "Limbaugh"... although she may fall prey to a Ron Paul, Ross Perot trajectory to "higher" office. Look for her to "settle" in a location such as Idaho, Missouri or Indiana by year end.
- One or more memory makers will announce a 3D, 1T-Ferroelectric based demonstration chip for "possible" production in 2012 aimed at the mainstream DRAM and/or NAND markets for the sub 22nm node. The two markets might be addressed by two different chips... possibly a 1T-FeFET for the DRAM market and a 1T-FeNAND for the NV data storage center sector.
- Ramtron will have no skin in the 1T-FeRAM IP market (although Symmetrix may)... still the announcement will shock the so called "analysts" and further RMTR's interests in the low density (sub-Gb) NV-memory sector.
By Year End 2010:
- Neither MRAM, nor PCRAM will have a product which can compete with the 1T-FeRAM chip. PCRAM will make an appearance in the market at 128Mb or 512Mb densities on 90nm fab lines, but its cost/performance numbers will be much like NOR Flash and interest in their further development will begin to wain.
- TXN/RMTR will announce a new F-RAM cell sensing scheme which will allow the production of commercial chips to crack the 90nm half pitch barrier.
- The new sensing scheme will result in F-RAM becoming a serious competitor for standard 6T-SRAM cache at the bleeding edge of manufacturing densities... although due to its reliance on a multiple transistor/capacitor cell design it will not be suitable as a high density, data center memory product.
- One or more companies, including RMTR/IBM will announce plans to join Rohm in the manufacture of more powerful NV-logic chips.
- Sarah P. will reject multiple requests by various state GOP bodies to stand for elective office in their woebegone jurisdictions.
- RMTR will carry an increasingly volatile price multiple ranging from 20 to 60 or more.
By Year End 2011:
- INTC, MU, and IBM will take a license from RMTR; Symmetrix; or both; or
- RMTR, Symmetrix and possibly Celis will have merged into a single ferroelectric chip design and production house; and
- RMTR will see an all time high in its stock price and current management can ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after.
- I myself will have disappeared long before then... having become fed up with your insane decision to invest in this silly little company... and of course your utter failure to stand on your own two feet and take responsibility for said insane decision.
- Strangely enough... I do believe I will miss all the resulting crying, whining, and caterwauling which inevitably accompanies your attendance.
