Hi there !! I'm euphoric again...(for the umtienth time) after having been (damn scared) many many times.... INTC - RMBS transition strategy zen-news.com One idea Intel is toying with is to put SDRAMs in a Rambus in-line module, add a transceiver to translate the data output to Rambus format (SDRAMs have 64-bit data buses while Rambus uses 16-18-bit buses and are much faster). This doesn't really make sense - the transceiver will cost extra and what about the extra delay caused be all this? Mr Zahir's of Zen thinks: What will probably happen is that the transition to Rambus will slow down -Intel will probably step in with a 133 MHz spec for SDRAMs. Otherwise, it represents a tremendous business opportunity for its competitors in chipsets and processors. Techweb does have interesting articles after all.... techweb.com New partners? 1. Micron & Hyundai persuing SLDRAM (?) 2. LG Semicon persuing a lead in RDRAMS 3. Samsung producing Alpha & DDR plans worth mentioning could this be an additional ESDRAM partner 4. Misubishi has their inferior CDRAM.... 5. NEC has VCM...hopefully in CDRAM performance league... and has an RDRAM comittment too 6. Fujitsu [most ambitious FRAM partner according to Lehmann] See current smart modular technology newsletter p.5 shorcut to 0.05 micron....FRAM integration into DRAM I believe becomes increasingly relevant much earlier than generally anticipated (my guess)...and hence patent issue ?!?!...do I know what I'm talking about?...never claimed I did... 7. Toshiba....don't know much (overstatement) about them 8. Others.... "" Maybe someone can add to/correct this...or maybe we just wait & see Now there was an article somewhere claiming that RDRAM dies are about 25% larger than conventional SDRAM, which rambus marketing chaps claimed to be exagerrated saying it was only about 10% (figures not exact) and LG (or some other co) hoping to remedy this through die shrinks....but this technique can be applied to other DRAMS too...so when it's larger (more expensive)...it is larger...and with a sustained bandwidth greater than RDRAM there's no NEED for it and hence not for the test equipment...and, and, and... Now Mr Grove....may I humbly suggest having a look what SA-ESDRAM can do for the Strongarm? - that is if You haven't already done so of course? techweb.com Now Barb there's a camera named after YOU...wow!!! techweb.cmp.com
