clip... Oct. 29, 1999 (Electronic Engineering Times - CMP via COMTEX) -- SAN JOSE, CALIF. - Workstations using Direct Rambus memory were announced last week at the rollout of Intel Corp.'s 0.18-micron Coppermine microprocessors. While other segments of the computer market will have to wait to employ Rambus, assuming the twice-delayed 820 chip set is introduced on schedule, Hewlett-Packard and Compaq's long-awaited introductions, and Dell's announced plans to make Rambus-based systems were made possible by the rollout of the 840 chip set. The 840 offers dual RDRAM memory channels with up to 2 Gbytes of memory support. Workstations using Rambus should ship next month, an Intel spokesman said. Although Rambus-based desktop systems could conceivably use the 840, which is priced at $60, that approach is being discouraged by Intel, said Patrick Gelsinger, vice president and general manager of the Desktop Products Group at Intel (Santa Clara, Calif.). The 840 is tailored for the greater memory requirements of workstations, while the 820, due out sometime this quarter, is better suited for desktops, he said.
