Hi all; Fujitsu DDR/SDRAM/RDRAM chip/DIMM/RIMM count.

FUJITSU

This ancient PDF file from Fujitsu says it all:
Sales Team,
The new fiscal year will bring some significant developments
in our memory strategy.
We will ship SDRAM PC133 in volume and build on the foundations
already laid for DDR SDRAM; for example, the 128M and 256M devices
will be launched. We will begin to ship production volumes of DDR
SDRAM to customers in the high-end Computing segment, the
Networking segment, as well as those in the Multimedia and Graphics
segments. The FCRAM (Fast Cycle RAM) will also begin shipping, and
given the high level of interest from customers with a need for this low
latency DRAM, I suspect this will be one of our most significant product
launches for quite some time!

fujitsumicro.com

Anyone doubting that the x32s are primarily for graphics purposes, (and were therefore the first to hit the market,) can read this app note from Fujitsu:
fujitsumicro.com

Anyway, Fujitsu shows two, x32 DDR SDRAM devices, which, in addition
to the usual DDR SDRAM functions, also do FCRAM:
(1.1M) fujitsumicro.com
(1.3M) 133.164.254.164
(small) fujitsumicro.com

By the way, I hate downloading data sheets from Fujitsu, they are hard to find sometimes, so I prefer some of the other guys. IBM is a favorite, for example, but they are exiting the memory business, except for embedded.

DDR memory gets Infineon, Samsung, Via boost

Bob Eminian, a VP for Samsung Semiconductors, said: "Because of the existing
PC133 SDRAM infrastructure, and the use of the same packaging and processing
technologies, DDR 266 presents no significant investment in manufacturing facilities.
This means that it will be a simple transition to volume production of DDR SDRAM
parts and PC2100 memory modules for the PC market, which we should expect to
see in 2H'00." ©

Carl,

The other memory makers are not so pretty for Rambus. Here I continue with the memory makers, complete, as usual, with links:

LOL! Great, you picked Hitachi for your next example. Let me see, who was it again that Rambus was suing again for not having met any single milestone in their RDRAM development schedule? And for not even showing up at the meetings to discuss issues? Hmmmmm. Their name is right on the tip of my tongue. Let's see, I think the name starts with an 'H' maybe.

I know! I know! It's Hitachi!

Nice example.

Dave
