Re: Global DRAM Sales RDRAM, SDRAM
1999 ranked by % and DDR deal
1. Samsung 24% no deal, no lawsuit
2. Hyundai 20% no deal, lawsuits
3. Micron 17% no deal, lawsuits
4. NEC 10% deal
5. Infineon 8% no deal, lawsuit
6. Toshiba 8% deal
7. Mitsubishi 4% no deal, no lawsuit
8. Fujitsu 3% no deal, no lawsuit
9. Hitachi 3% deal
10. Oki 2% deal
TOTAL 100%


NEC's (10%) and Hitachi's (3%) DRAM business are being spun off in 3 months - at which point they are back in the "no deal, no lawsuit" column. So rambus has only signed Toshiba (8%) and OKI (2%). They have sued Infineon (8%) and are being sued by Micron (17%) and Hyundai (20%).

So the totals are:

Neutral (44%)
Sued Rambus (37%)
Sued by Rambus (8%)
Signed with Rambus (10%)

Samsung is the big question mark.

It would be interesting to hear conversations between Rambus/Samsung and Micron/Samsung at this point!
