nec has no problems...they want to accelerate rambus production semibiznews.com CLIP: Spikes in the price of SDRAMs have design engineers rethinking the mix of SDRAM versus Direct Rambus designs they may put into the mix this fall, potentially nudging the ramp of Rambus up a notch. "We've been told to go back and look at Rambus designs," said the NEC engineer. "Instead of a 95/5 percent mix of SDRAM and Rambus we may move to a 90/10 percent mix. But that would require a whole new mix of chip sets and other components and a whole new test program. It's not a simple change." AND The first big tangible fallout from the tragedy hit Advanced Micro Devices Inc.: Two out of three of AMD's Taiwanese board makers, who were rushing to build boards for AMD's ?Pentium III-killer? Athlon processor, are out of action. "Athlon is definitely a challenge that has a lot of people burning the midnight oil right now, in part because it uses a fast 200-MHz frontside bus," the engineer said. "Also, AMD has not yet been able to get out boards that support two-way processors. That would really be competitive against the Intel Xeon line."
