Hi Gene Parrott; Another rumor of ill wind for Rambus, but not from a substantial source: Intel Product Launch I just got back from the Intel Coppermine launch at the ANA Hotel in Sydney. I'll try and provide you with a brief synopsis of what I saw. ... Although it wasn't officially announced, we were allowed to see a prototype i820 'Camino' board that featured no RIMM slots! In place of the RIMM slots were two conventional SDRAM slots! Apparently a special chip was required to allows for this. Incidentally, this was an engineering sample, with 'secret' written clearly on the chipset. Shaun Casey, the Intel Tech Manager, confirmed that the i820 would get released before Christmas. With proper SDRAM support, the i820 could be a real winner. tweak3d.net -- Carl

Asked to comment on the widespread speculation flooding the industry, an Intel spokesman said the company "believes Direct Rambus DRAM is the best solution for the next generation memory, but [we're] working to give customers options on types of DRAM for the present time. We will continue to work to transition memory from SDRAMs to Direct Rambus. But the speed at which this transition occurs will be decided by the market." Sounds like diplomacy to me. Now we have Intel the market-friendly benevolent King. Letting bussers down easy. w
