Samsung makes DDR push with new DRAMs By Semiconductor Business News Aug 16, 2001 (8:48 AM) URL: semibiznews.com SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. today announced it has begun volume production of high-speed double data rate (DDR) synchronous DRAMS, with chip densities of 128 and 256 megabits, using a new 0.15-micron process technology. The Korean memory chip giant said it continues to emphasize both DDR and competing devices based on Rambus Inc.'s DRAM architecture. However, Samsung said it plans to increase the DDR portion of its memory business from 5% of its current DRAM offering to 20% by the end of the year. This shift is aimed at weathering the sharp downturn in DRAM markets by emphasizing higher density and higher performance devices, said the company. The new 128- and 256-Mbit DDR memories feature 333-Mbit-per-second data rates, which is 2.5 times faster than today's PC133 SDRAMs and 25% faster than DDR26 devices, noted Samsung. The new DDR333 memories operate at 166 MHz vs. the 133-MHz speed of the DDR266 format. The 128-Mbit DDR333 memory is configured 8 Mbit-by-16, while the 256-Mbit memory is available in either a 64 Mbit-by-4 or 32 Mbit-by-8 configuration. Pricing information was not released today. Samsung said it is aiming the 256-Mbit DDR333 memories at high-performance servers, desktop computers and notebook PCs with central processing units operating at 1.5-GHz and higher frequencies. The Korean memory maker also said it was pushing the high-speed DDR SDRAMs into new game consoles, digital TVs and set-top box applications.

Or does my sharing the idea on this SI board, being a member of SI, mean that I would be committing fraud to later try to collect royalties from the idea?
