Hi Dave, All

Thanks for drawing attention to the article.

Japanese play catch-up on magnetic RAMs
eetimes.com
BTW - believe Aixtron is also active in MRAM area

Just a few links below - think they're all interesting for threadsters here

1. The Infrastructure Special Report on Micron of May 28, 1998 has been released for general download at their website, yields some very useful industry issues

2. EXCITING Memory section in April issue of Zen News zen-news.com
" RDRAM must get above a data rate of 533Mb/s/pin to exceed [Maximum Bus Bandwidth] of PC133.

3. April 30, 1999 - AMI2 pushes standards-based DRAM approach

4. ISSCC confronts post-PC world -- Myriad approaches attack memory bottleneck, but no silver bullet on the horizon

5. 29 Companies Announce DDR SDRAM Enabling Products
news.computeroemonline.com

6. Technology Bows to Money and Power
electronicnews.com

-> Only problem I see here is that competitors in both CPU & DRAM
will want to make inroads anywhere they can...and with no obvious
performance advantage and higher costs it's going to be tough...
->http://www.redherring.com/mag/issue53/competition.html

7. Rambus May be Niche Product
electronicnews.com

8. The DRDRAM Mystery
electronicnews.com

9. Camino Chipset Delay Sparks DRAM Turmoil
electronicnews.com

10. The Resurgence of Rambus DRAM
electronicnews.com
-> Mr Ignoranti's opinion on above opinion: "MARKETING-Waffle par excellence"

11. NEC Samples 128-Bit D-RDRAM
electronicnews.com

Unforuantely lost the link to a recent Smart Money article on the relationship
between NEC and Rambus... but it was a good article - think NEC has already simulated
VCM-DRDRAM... obiously they have (had?) L/T plans here... Hence the issues
surrounding the patent infringement suit seems even more important...they obviously
haven't been interested in negotiating with rmtr - Semiconductor Business online
had a 2-part series "My lawyer can Beat up Your Lawyer" - RMTR-NEC would make
a great "part 3". Anyway, NO NEC monitor for me....

12. News Report: PC133 Gains Momentum

13. News Report: Rambus on the Ropes?
realworldtech.com

14. cpu-central.com
got this from the other thread...thanX Norm...
review-zone.com

15. SLDRAM consortium recharters to focus on DDR-2 spec
204.247.196.14

16. General, California Management Review
a) Reversal of Fortune? The recovery of the U.S. Semiconductor Industry
Vol. 41, No. 1 Fall 1998
b) The Evolving Role of Semiconductor Consortia in the U.S. & Japan
Vol. 41, No.1 Fall 1999
c) The Art of Standards Wars, Vol. 41, No.2 Winter 1999
Does the excerpt below sound familar?
"Revolutionary strategies are based on offering such compelling
performance that consumers are willing to incur significant switching
or adoption costs."
-> Now I wonder what happens when the revolutionary technology turns out
not to offer any compelling performance advantage.... perhaps initially something
like 5. above?

Anybody know what this is about? From Yahoo thread 2856

Have a few thoughts here, but this post is already long enough.
