Jim, Re: Also, It looks like ACER will not field any DDR before the end of next year despite the chipset per rumor. siliconinvestor.com President Miin Wu discussed ALi's position in the DDR chipset race with EBN's Asia correspondent Faith Hung. [...] EBN: When will ALi begin full production of DDR chipsets? Will they be available at the same time for Intel processors and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s Athlon processor, or will one precede the other? Wu: The volume production will begin around the end of the fourth quarter. DDR chipsets for Athlon will be available a few weeks ahead of those for the Intel CPU. [...] EBN: What are the market projections for DDR chipsets for Pentium and Athlon in the first half of 2001 and also for the full year? Wu: Many people are predicting DDR chipsets will probably account for 30% to 40% of the [DRAM] market in the first half of next year and anywhere from 20% to 25% for the full year. We tend to be optimistic about the outlook for DDR because your cost may rise a little bit, but your performance increases anywhere from 20% to 40%. It's a very substantial improvement. Andreas
