DRAM development slows
Is the next-generation 1-gigabit DRAM going to end up being delayed
a year? Could be. Mitsubishi, Hitachi, and Texas Instruments have
decided to wait another year to equip the test line they will use to
develop 1-gigabit chips, Darrell Dunn writes in EBN.
They had planned to sample the chip in '99 and start production in
2000. The delay is fueling speculation that the entire DRAM industry
will move in this direction, as well as feeding rumors that TI may
be preparing a slow exit from the memory market. "For these three
big players to be suggesting that it is time to pull back on
investing in future generations is significant; I think others will
probably follow suit," says Brian Matas of IC Insights. "This could also be the beginning, or a signal, that TI is wanting to focus more on DSP and is easing out of DRAMs."
