Monday January 3 7:04 AM ET Samsung Develops Higher Capacity Rambus DRAM SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co (05930.KS) said on Monday it has completed development of a 288 megabit Rambus dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chip, double the capacity of its mainstay Rambus chip. A 0.17 micron design rule has been applied for processing the chip. Samsung has also completed development of a 576 megabyte Rambus in-line memory module, which will comprise 16 pieces of 288 megabit chips, Samsung said in a statement. Rambus chips use a high-speed memory technology format developed by Rambus Inc (NasdaqNM:RMBS - news). Samsung currently produces 144 megabit Rambus DRAM chips and is set to gradually raise its monthly production to some two million units by February from around one million in December. A Samsung spokeswoman said commercial production of the 288 megabit Rambus chip was expected to begin in the second quarter of 2000. Samsung Electronics is the flagship unit of South Korea's Samsung Group SAGR.CN.

dead, dead, dead? Ha! Ha! Ha! Please explain Bilow... (From Yahoo. Thanks tech_future_2000) Samsung announces 512Mb RMBS RIMMs by: tech_future_2000 1/3/2000 8:26 am EST Msg: 34152 of 34160 This is much earlier than I expected. The 512Mb RIMMs were not due till 4th quarter of 2000. Now they'll be here during the 2nd quarter of 2000, 6 months ahead of schedule!With the 512Mb RIMMs, 2RIMM motherboards can have up to 1Gb on board RAM. dailynews.yahoo.com Monday January 3 7:04 AM ET Samsung Develops Higher Capacity Rambus DRAM SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co (05930.KS) said on Monday it has completed development of a 288 megabit Rambus dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chip, double the capacity of its mainstay Rambus chip.

Carl, But the problems that surfaced last year put the nails in the coffin. Does anyone actually KNOW what the 820 problem was? John

Bilow... You've got egg all over your face and poop in your pants. By 2000 Samsung says that Rambus will be 50% of the total DRAM market. Bilow why don't you contact Samsung and help out their engineers. Tell them what a mistake they are making. Tell them that you have all the answers to correct their thinking. Tell them how wrong they are and how right you are. Look at all the money you will save them. Maybe they will give you a reward for being so smart. Ha! Ha! Ha!... DEAD, DEAD, DEAD MY FOOT! Thanks to slimchance on Yahoo for this find: Samsung claims 288-Mbit Rambus DRAM now ready By SBN news staff Semiconductor Business News (01/03/00, 9:24 a.m. EDT) SEOUL ? Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. today claimed to be the first company to finish development of a 288-megabit DRAM, based on the Direct Rambus format. In addition, Samsung said it has completed work on a new 576-Mbyte Rambus in-line memory module (RIMM), which uses sixteen 288-Mbit RDRAM chips. The Korean chip maker said the 288-Mbit RDRAM will be fabricated with a 0.17-micron process technology, but the company did not indicate when volume production of the new memory or 576-Mbyte RIMMs would begin. However, Samsung said it plans to accelerate production of Rambus memories in general to serve a market segment that is expected to be about 10 percent of the total DRAM business in 2000 ? or about $3 billion. By 2002, Samsung said the Rambus segment will be about 50 percent of the total DRAM market. With sixteen 288-Mbit RDRAM chips, the 576-Mbyte RIMM modules can support PC systems with up to 1 gigabyte of storage or larger workstations and server systems with up to 8 gigabtye of memory, Samsung said. The 288-Mbit chips are housed in a Micro ball-grid array (BGA) package. The company did not release information on pricing of the 288-Mbit RDRAM or modules. eetimes.com

Bilow... OH NO! Micron is going to use RAMBUS. How can they be so stupid. If I were you I would forward all your posts to them before they make this fatal mistake. I'm sure you and your other friend engineers can get a hugh reward from Micron for being so sharp and having all the answers... remember Rambus is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD! Just what do you think MICRON'S problem is? Probably just dumb engineers. Are they all that stupid or what? I hate to say it Bilow but unless you come up with some good answers it will look like we have more egg and poop here. pcworld.com
