KZ, <How much does MTH degrade performance?> We are waiting for answers on that one but as a point of referance VIA and RCC are winning PC133 design wins against rumored Camino/PC133. <How many drdrams will there actually be in the near term? How many PC models with Rambus are actually in the pipeline for fall? > Intel is not likely to ship a lot of CuMines in Q4 because of logistics. Right now, Intel is going flat out (units wise) to make Q3/Q4. If they build too many CuMine and can't ship them out for whatever reason, they are hosed. So, I am sure most of the builds for Q3/Q4 are PIIIs (500-600 MHz). I have points of reference that traingulate CuMines to about 2 Mu for Q3 and 5Mu for Q4(ex:I have a good feel for other components being sold to Intel for Camino motherboards. Mind you - these are motherboard build plans - not ship plans. And motherboard ships precede CPU ships) <How many have been decommitted from Rambus recently and what are they switching to? > Hard to answer other than to say that - a LOT. To the best of my knowledge only Dell is endorsing RDRAM for Q4 - I would be surprised if they ship too many in any case. <What is going on inside Intel? > My contacts report chaos. <What are they telling OEMs behind closed doors? > Until a few weeks back it was Camino with PC133. I do not know the position du jour. <What the hell is going on around here???????????> Beat me. May be Intel has this massive campaign to confuse the hell out of OEMs and end customers till they get their things in control ;-) Chuck
