Japan's NEC has fast new Rambus memory chip TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's NEC Corp said Tuesday it has developed a 72-megabit direct Rambus dynamic random-access memory semiconductor capable of data transfer speeds of 1.6 gigabytes per second. NEC said in a statement it plans to start shipment of sample chips from September. The new device will be offered in a 184-pin rambus memory module which the company will begin sampling at the same time. The module will be offered with a memory capacity of 64 megabytes, NEC said. The combination is designed for use in personal computers, workstations or servers. NEC said mass production of direct chips, including devices and the Rambus memory module, will start from December. The company expects to produce one million chips per month by the second half of 1999, it said. The chip has been selected by Compaq Computer Corp (Nasdaq:CPQ) and Dell Computer Corp (Nasdaq:DELL) for future use in their personal computers.
