PB & Intel Investors - Samsung Believes RAMBUS Memory is alive and well. "By 2002, Samsung said the Rambus segment will be about 50% of the total DRAM market." Check out this progress report. Paul {================================} Samsung claims 288-Mbit Rambus DRAM now ready By Semiconductor Business News Jan 3, 2000 (6:10 AM) URL: semibiznews.com 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% of the total DRAM business in 2000--or about $3 billion. By 2002, Samsung said the Rambus segment will be about 50% of the total DRAM market. With sixteen 288-Mbit RDRAM chips, the 576-Mbyte RIMM modules can support PC systems with up to 1gigabyte 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
