From Kash on Intel thread

Unclewest,

Just listened to Dan Niles on www.vcall.com
He talked about Intel and Rambus:

Re: Intel yes 2M pc reduction to 29M. This is still 8% growth just not 25% growth like most analysts predicted.

Re: Rambus - problem isn't rambus. The camino chipsets are buggy. Nothing for 1-2 quarters on camino. He is alleging it is an intel design problem.

His read is different from CNet article. That article stated it was a MB problem.

If it is a chipset problem we would be looking at 6-8 weeks for redesign and rebuild samples. Then another 6-8 weeks to build production so Q1 2000 would be earliest.

As far as the stock - if it is simply reducing RIMM modules on MB then this is no big deal. MB's can be redone in 30 days. If its a chipset issue - then Rambus is likey dead. PC133 is the way everybody will go.

regards,

Kash

> why was edelstone not informed? or was he? why no msdw downgrade? and the other analysts..where are they?

I imagine he hates being one upped by Niles. Also likely both are giving their people some time to sell???

uncle, unfortunately, I do not have any good answers to your questions, all very interesting ones. I have many speculation, but I'd rather not waste the bandwidth with these.
