KOREA'S SAMSUNG ELEC TO INCREASE RAMBUS DRAM OUTPUT Story Filed: Wednesday, April 18, 2001 9:52 PM EST SEOUL, Apr 19, 2001 (AsiaPulse via COMTEX) -- Samsung Electronics Co (KSE: 05930) has announced plans to boost its output of Rambus DRAM in the expectation of an expanded market after Intel cuts the price of its Pentium IV processor. Pentium IV uses Rambus DRAM chips, and demand for the central processing unit is expected to surge and overtake Pentium III after the price cuts. Samsung produced 5 million Rambus DRAM chips in January but increased production to 10 million last month. It will again raise output to 15 million next month and 20 million in the fall, which will result in a total production of 150 million to 160 million units this year. The increase in Rambus DRAM yields will take 30 per cent of the company's total memory chip sales. The company will postpone investment in non-memory chips and LCDs to focus on Rambus DRAM. "With the increased supply and demand of Rambus DRAM, its price per unit will drop to US$10 level in the latter half of this year from the current $15 to $16 and the market will grow further," a Samsung source said, "And the rapid increase of the Rambus DRAM market is expected to affect demand for SDRAM.
