Re: DRAM Makers Disagree Over Future Memory Technologies
techweb.com
From the article:
Despite Intel's full-court press to drive RDRAM onto the desktop PC, competing technologies such as double-data-rate (DDR) DRAM and SLDRAM remain in the production plans of many integrated circuit companies...
Okay.
This happens far too often in this business. I would even go so far is to say this may be a market failure.
This infighting amongst the RAM crowd is just like the battling over the 56kb modems, and the flavors of UNIX, and so on. Maybe these chumps don't even REALIZE that unless they improve the process of building consensus, they will forever remain outside the Holy Empire, relegated to fringe barbarians cultures, looking enviously upon the riches and glory of the Empire. From unity of purpose comes strength.
They don't realize that the enemy is not each other, but what I call "the other 60" percent. Thats the 60 million households in the US without computers. Why don't they have computers? Because computers are TOO DAMN COMPLICATED. Why are they complicated? Because IDIOTS like Rockwell and USRobotics, like Rambus and Synclink, like Sun and SCO, compete in gratuitous conflict against each other, a war of corporate egos, engendering needless complexity in the industry. This bickering only queers the wicket for everybody.
Intel should be out there building unity and arbitrating disputes like these before they come to a head. But they're too dumb, off chasing the 3D chip market, a market in which nobody has made money for some time. Dopes!@*#$*% Morons*#%* J.M.H.O.
God bless,
