The Camino that will hit the market next week will only be available in a two-RIMM version; Intel plans to release the full, three-module device, but no date has been set. techweb.com Dataquest sees DRAM boosting semiconductor market to $215B in three years At the company's annual forecast conference here, Ronald Bohn, director of semiconductor research, said the industry should grow 14 percent this year, 17 percent next year and another 19 percent in 2001 to a total of $215 billion in worldwide revenue. The figure is still short of the $300 billion executives in 1995 saw the industry reaching by 2000.
