intel was paid to support rmbs in stock. period. spin it any way you like. intel paid billions to get memory mfrs to make rmbs. fact. period. spin it any way you want. as part of the payment, intel is contractually obliged to push rmbs - whether they want to or not. the "or not" part is the reason for the contract in the first place. if there was no "or not" then there would be no need for a signed contract. think logically. now, tell me, who paid intel in stock to use sdram? ddr? come on...

Hi all; Elpida to shift production to DDR: Japan's Elpida Memory to expand production capacity of 12-inch D- Ram plant Commercial Times via NewsEdge Corporation, July 26, 2001 Japan-based Elpida Memory Inc, formed by a merger of NEC's dynamic random access memory (D-Ram) business and Hitachi Ltd, is to expand the production capacity of its 12-inch D-Ram plant, despite slow sales in the global D-Ram sector. The company has forecast that the share of its D-Rams on the global market will rise from 10 per cent to 20 per cent by 2003. Double data rate (DDR) and Rambus D-Ram each account for 15 per cent of Elpida Memory's D-Ram production. Elpida Memory plans to increase progressively the output of DDR D-Ram in the first half of 2002, based on a prediction that DDR will become a leading D-Ram specification. manufacturing.net -- Carl
