Blake, you lit up the board today. <g> How about a Samsung forecast? They must be more accurate than Semico, right? The 512Mb DRAM uses a chip design that can support either the synchronous mode of the current PC-100 and PC-133, or the next-generation DDR (double data rate) memory specifications. This design will enable better production line flexibility, quickening Samsung's response time to market demands....... In addition, the technology, know-how and 0.12-micron design rule can also be applied to existing 128Mb and 256Mb DRAMs to achieve a strong price advantage, thereby ensuring Samsung's leadership in the world memory market...... Samsung Electronics officials expect to supply their 512Mb DRAM to large manufacturers of servers. The initial market for this new device is seen to form in 2001. Demand is forecast at around US$20 million in 2001 and is expected to skyrocket to US$41.1 billion by 2004. In 2004 this could well be the entry level product in desk tops. samsung.com IMO, (based on what I've read), this is the type of device the chip makers would prefer to make.
