Samsung delivers Rambus January 10, 2000 - 1:05pm, Mark Stubblefield Samsung Electronics has become the first company to complete development of a 288Mb Direct Rambus DRAM (RDRAM) component and 576MB rambus in-line Memory Module (RIMM Module). Today Samsung announced that they are the first company to complete development of a Rambus memory module that will feature a design rule of 0.17-micron (very fast!) applied for processing the circuits for the very highly integrated 288Mb device. With twice the capacity of the high-speed 144Mb version this is a very swift technology advancement. The data processing speed at each pin has been improved to 800Mb per second. Basically this new RAM technology is very, very fast. For example, it can process the equivalent of 6,550 newspaper pages of information per second. The worldwide RDRAM market is expected to make up at least 10-percent of the DRAM market, totaling an estimated US$3billion this year, and this portion is forecast to increase to a 50-percent share in 2002. So you can expect to see Rambus used widespread later on this year and start to become a standard in a few years.
