Tony, RE: has anyone followed the LSI + RAMBUS = Qualcomm I too have been trying to find out if there is a direct link between rambus and qualcomm. No luck so far. But did find a "connection" between LSI, Rambus, and 3G wireless (CDMA)phones, albeit short on details. lsilogic.com I had posted this some time back, both here and on QCOM thread, which may have introduced a confusion factor. As you probably know, LSI does or will make CDMA chips for Samsung and perhaps others. I don't think Qualcomm is anywhere in that loop except as the collector of royalties. The interesting thing about the above link is that it shows that LSI considers Rambus to be a "core building block" for future 3G wireless (i.e. CDMA) products. (See the graphic about three pages down). This has piqued my curiosity as to whether Qualcomm may have a similar approach in mind and whether they may become a Rambus licensee. Hope this helps some, at least. Best, jack

Tony, Thanks for the slides. So where's the Qualcomm connection? I know that LSI is a qualified/certified CDMA (Cell phone) chip vendor, for which Q holds the patent and royalty rights Wish I knew the answer. I'm the first to admit that I don't know all the tech stuff. But I'd be willing to bet that the superior technologies of these two companies [QCOM & RMBS] will be tied together somehow. That may explain why I'm top heavy <g> in Qcom and Rmbs stock. Best, Glenda
