Rambus news........ Samsung Set to Begin Volume Production of Rambus DRAMs Aug 31, 1999, (Comline via COMTEX) -- Samsung Electronics Co. will commence mass production of Rambus dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips for personal multimedia systems in the fourth quarter of this year. According to a company spokesperson on August 26, Samsung Electronics is planning to churn out 128-megabit and 144-megabit Rambus DRAMs in volume, with monthly production projected at 1.5 million chips each. Monthly output will be raised to 3 million chips each in early next year. Demand for Rambus DRAM chips, which can handle data twice as fast as existing products with similar capacity, is expected to grow rapidly. The global Rambus DRAM market is forecast to reach $2.6 billion for this year, and soar to $13.5 billion in 2000. Samsung, the world's largest memory chip maker, last year secured quality endorsements for its Rambus DRAM chips from Rambus Inc., the US firm holding industrial property rights for the new semiconductor memory technology.
