Maui, thread, Mike Magee meanderings, A SENIOR EXECUTIVE AT INTEL has dared to say that DDR will supplant Rambus by 2003, confirming suspicions that RDRAM won't be long for the Santa Clara roadmaps. ===================================================== Rambus virtually dead on desktop - Intel Dynamite explodes By Mike Magee, 16/11/2001 15:56:53 BST A SENIOR EXECUTIVE AT INTEL has dared to say that DDR will supplant Rambus by 2003, confirming suspicions that RDRAM won't be long for the Santa Clara roadmaps. Nico Ernst, writing on Tec Channel, got the confirmation from Anand Chandrasekher, who has been outspoken in the past about Intel technology. The report quotes Chandrasekher as saying that by 2002 DDR based PCs will hog the performance desktop memory space. He said that it was unclear whether DDR would make it into the "Celeron" space, which would be down to pricing between the different memory types. Rambus, he said will get "niched into the very performance intensive applications, largely workstations". Further, unless the economies of scale changed at Rambus, DDR will be the winner in workstations too. DDR-II, he said, would further cause the Rambus market to decline. If Chandrasekher - who described the INQUIRER as being like the National Enquirer* at the last Intel Developer Forum (IDF) - is "on message", that means that it's likely to be 2003 before any of this happens. The latest roadmaps we saw in early November indicate Rambus still hogging the performance sector through 2002. Earlier in the week, SiS reported that it had signed a licence with Rambus so it could build a Pentium 4/533FSB chipset next year.

Other Inquirers around the globe include a respected Philadelphia newspaper and the Philippine Daily Inquirer. theinquirer.net
