Sell at the top, buy at the bottom. Don't artificially set a price. June 22, 1998, TechWeb News: Fujitsu takes new track with high-speed FCRAM By Andrew Maclelan The Fast Cycle RAM (FCRAM) design should deliver a bandwidth of up to 3.2 Gbytes/s, the company said. Developed by the Japanese chip maker with its U.S. subsidiary, Fujitsu Microelectronics Inc., the new approach is the latest in a series of efforts by memory suppliers to re-engineer their DRAM chips to speed internal performance. The above news together with the earlier(June 12, 1998) released news about new DRAM product from Samsung. Samsung claims that it is the first company to get to a .13-micron process.Samsung said its technology can be used with current lithography processes. "The breakthrough will reduce the amount of risk associated with massive new investments in the semiconductor industry, and expected to bring the 4-gigabit (memort chip) to market at least three years earlier than previously expected," Samsung said in a statement. The announcement comes as good news for Samsung, which earlier this week suspended production of 16-megabit memory chips (called DRAMs) because the cost of production is currently greater than the selling price. Other manufacturers have taken similar steps, as the memory chip industry in in the midst of a glut. After you read above news, you should have the idea the following made by Memory Expert not without good reason: The market noise is being made by RAMBUS now because they have devices sampled. In August the SyncLink consortium will issue samples, and in January SyncLink parts will be in volume production. The SLDRAMs are faster than RAMBUS DRAMs, cost only 6% in area, have no signigicant licence fee, and support fully speed-binning, and are easier to use. The RMBS bulls have a feeling that RAMBUS has special technology no company in the world can match. But in reality there are a lot of companies in the world can beat it up really bad if they choose to.
