Blake re: "They're going to 300 mm and 0.14 micron so they can make RDRAM en mass, IMHO".
Out of curiosity, what percent of DRAM units do you think RDRAM will have in 2001? (I figure around 4 Billion DRAM's total next year).

Blake, from Infineon's corporate press release.

Leading-edge memory chips, which are currently manufactured on the 200 mm line at Infineon Technologies Richmond, will move to the 300 mm line, making existing capacity available for production of communication ICs.

Sure sounds to me like they're just moving SDRAM to 300-mm.

Very strong deductive thinking! They definitely "can".
But "will" they? LOL.
