Dow Jones Newswires -- February 9, 2001 Dow Jones Newswires NEC Mulls Boosting High-Speed Rambus DRAM Production Dow Jones Newswires TOKYO -- NEC Corp. (NIPNY or 6701) is studying increasing production of high-speed Direct Rambus dynamic random access memory units in the next fiscal year starting April, a company spokesman said Friday. Rambus DRAMs have a data-transfer speed of more than twice that of older DRAMs. "It's true the study is going on. But, no final decision has been made as we haven't yet set the budget for the next fiscal year," the spokesman said. The Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported Friday that the Japanese electronics giant will boost its monthly output of Rambus DRAMs to 5 million units (on 128-megabit memory conversion) by September from the current 2 million units. Memory unit production will be lifted at its chip plants in Japan, the U.K. and China, the economic daily added. Demand for Rambus DRAMs, used in personal computers, is expected to rise sharply due to U.S. Intel Corp.'s (INTC) procurement of the memory units for its new microprocessing unit "Pentium 4". -By Kanji Ishibashi, Dow Jones Newswires; 813-5255-2929;
