Zeeh No I can't, it certainly did stick out there. Only wonder how long it can hold-out with this bloodbath. IBM and HWP were also relatively strong.. But the Nasdaq and SOX were real sick. Everyone watching AOL and DOT. These certainly are interesting times. I am still flat looking for another extreme dip to buy Rambus or buy just before Intel Conference time. How about yourself? regards Don

Zeev...http://www.eet.com/story/chipwire/OEG19990804S0003 What the heck is Samsung up to now? The company also said the chip offers an "evolutionary alternative" to Direct Rambus DRAM and double-data-rate (DDR) Steve Samsung SGRAM delivers 3.5 Gbytes per second By the SBN news staff Semiconductor Business News (08/04/99, 2:48 p.m. EDT) SAN JOSE, Calif. — Samsung Semiconductor Inc. here today announced a 222-MHz, 32-megabit synchronous graphics RAM that it called the fastest 32-Mbit SGRAM on the market. The KM4132G112, a new version of the initial 32-Mbit SGRAM that Samsung brought out last December, is up to 55 percent faster in memory performance than competing "best of class" systems, according to Samsung. The company also said the chip offers an "evolutionary alternative" to Direct Rambus DRAM and double-data-rate (DDR) DRAM for graphics applications. On a 64-bit bus controller, the device provides 8 bytes by 222 MHz, delivering 1.8 gigabytes per second, and on a 128-bit bus controller, it provides 16 bytes by 222 MHz, delivering a total of 3.5 Gbytes per second. This supports Samsung's claim that the KM4123G112 widens the performance differential between graphics and system memory. "With bandwidth being a critical issue in graphics memory, Samsung developed the 222-MHz SGRAM to help our customers achieve their performance objectives," said Avo Kanadjian, senior vice president of memory marketing at Samsung Semiconductor Inc. Samples of the KM4132G112 are available now, and production volumes will be available by September. The devices cost $8 each in quantities of 1,000.
