Hi all; Rambus management said Acer Laboratories has "record of being able to quickly ramp leading-edge PC chipsets in high volume." Wonder what they think of that statement now that ALi dumped RDRAM and went with DDR... On the Rambus website, you find of several press releases that are only mentioned by title: January 12, 1999 Acer Laboratories, Inc. Supports Rambus Memory to Advance Consumer PCs rambus.com Why wouldn't Rambus put the press release in full? Would there be something in that release that was a bit embarrassing? And one also has to wonder where those consumer RDRAM PC chipsets from ALi are. (G) That company doesn't have a record of the January 1999 press release on their website either (that I could find). Maybe both they and Rambus would like to forget the whole thing, as currently, ALi clearly dumped RDRAM and is now the leader in DDR: Acer Labs Showcases World’s First Complete DDR Core Logic Chipset Families at COMDEX Korea ali.com.tw ali.com.tw Ah, the miracle of SI, a quick search through the posts of Jan 12, 1999 finds this one from unclewest: Tuesday January 12, 9:01 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Acer Laboratories Inc. Supports Rambus Memory to Advance Consumer PCs Acer Laboratories to provide PC chipsets using Rambus 800MHz memory Acer Laboratories, Inc. (ALi) today announced that it has licensed 800MHz memory interface technology from Rambus Inc. [Nasdaq:RMBS - news] and will provide PC chipset products supporting Rambus DRAMs during 1999. The Rambus-based chipsets will allow the performance of high-end desktop PCs to be available in affordable consumer PCs. ... "ALi's record of being able to quickly ramp leading-edge PC chipsets in high volume will help accelerate the proliferation of the Rambus memory throughout the entire PC market," said Dave Mooring, VP and General Manager of the PC Product Division of Rambus Inc. #reply-7232937 This is hilarious. Of course I have to gather some quotes about ALi from the Rambus faithful: RDRAM in low cost pc's this year.. YEEEEEEESS!!! (unclewest #reply-7232937 ) Nice find uncle - party is back on!!! (REH #reply-7233174 ) This is huge! When Taiwan adopts a technology that Intel sponsors, there is no question that it will be the dominant technology in the market.(Ian Anderson #reply-7233408 ) -- Carl P.S. A freebie: we are looking for rmbs to be in 5+% of pc's by the end of the year (unclewest Aug 13, 1999 #reply-10946472 )
