On Rambus, I was just readying Sharky's IDF writeup, where this concise summary of the Rambus situation was presented: Those of you that have believed reports that consign RAMBUS to the Pet Cemetery have written the company off prematurely. Not only was RAMBUS a 'Gold Sponsor' (that means they're in bed with Intel) at this year's IDF but did anyone notice their stock soar earlier this week (up over 50%!)? We met with RAMBUS' Steven Woo, who explained the sharp rise in stock being due to Intel's announcements that the Willamette, Tehama and Timna platforms will only run with RDRAM. Thus RDRAM is for real and if you intend on using an Intel platform in late 2000 and 2001 you're going to wind up using RDRAM (unless you go with "Foster" and DDR RAM) not because it's faster, more expensive, and/or sounds nice but because Intel says so. sharkyextreme.com Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead! The I way or the highway! I'm a little confused on Timna/Rambus, I though it was going SDRAM but maybe that's only with one of those MTH things that don't quite work either. Cheers, Dan.
