Kash posted this on the Intel thread "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." This is getting tricky. One analyst says MB is at fault, other says CamiNO-GO. I'm sure Intel will provide official word Monday, no matter how ugly it may possibly be.
