Toshiba ships 800-MHz RDRAMs By Will Wade IRVINE, Calif.--Toshiba America Electronic Components Inc. here today announced it has shipped functioning direct Rambus DRAM (RDRAM) silicon that is running at 800 MHz. The company says this would make its chips the first such devices to operate at that speed. Toshiba says its samples are now undergoing system testing and chip set validation. "Rambus Inc. has confirmed that our 72Mb RDRAM devices were the first to complete functional tests," said Jamie Stitt, manager of DRAM marketing at Toshiba. He noted that the next-generation memory samples performed read/write operations, initialization procedures and power management operations, and in some cases moved data at speeds exceeding two gigabytes-per-second. This surpasses the 1.6Gb/s rate that Rambus has targeted for its initial high-speed memory designs. "With plenty of margin at such an early stage, we're confident we can ramp production to meet the industry's needs in 1999," Stitt said. RDRAM chips are expected to see deployment in computer systems by late next year, and many analysts predict the technology may assume a dominant role in the industry by 2000 or 2001. Toshiba said today that it expects to sample RDRAM chips to PC OEMs by September, with mass production slated for the first quarter of 1999. Pricing has not yet been established. Although several memory companies are working to develop alternate next-generation DRAM technology, including double data rate DRAM (DDR DRAM) and SLDRAM, this announcement may indicate that the Rambus interface has taken another step forward in the race to dominate the PC main memory segment. A popular contender, SLDRAM is generally seen as running behind Rambus in this race, and will have a difficult time establishing itself if the chips are not available when PC OEMs begin incorporating RDRAM into their designs. Another major factor indicating RDRAM's potential for wide use is Intel's decision to adopt the technology. The microprocessor giant is currently developing chip sets that incorporate the RDRAM interface, and has previously announced plans to ship the key enabling silicon by the end of next year.

lower highs and lower lows, bro. did you ever doubt ;-) hey, what happened to $22? like a sharp knife through warm butter ;-) did you ever doubt the teens? hey, larry, you gotta wonder what kind of dolts would pay $39 for a stock worth the low teens to single digits. i wonder why we ask whether intelligent life is elsewhere in the universe when we have none on earth ;-) after getting burned so often and, now, so very quickly, who will step up and go long this dog? maybe no more fools are left other than those that own this stock. fido. fido, fido, fido. got a bone for ya ;-) geez, did they lose a couple billion on mu or what? glad i'm in their money market fund. those idiots can't screw that up, can they? can they? can they?????? ;-0
