Here's the Samsung news in full text: Samsung to mass produce Rambus DRAMs Reuters Story - August 10, 1998 22:47 SEOUL, Aug 11 (Reuters) - South Korean chipmaker Samsung Electronics Co said on Tuesday it had completed development of the 64-megabit Rambus in-line memory module and was set to begin mass producing the device. The company said it has shipped samples to major semiconductor and PC makers such as Intel Corp , Compaq Computer Corp and Dell Computer Corp . A Samsung statement said major PC makers were expected to replace synchronous dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) with faster chips, creating a big demand for Rambus DRAM modules. It forecast that the chip would grab at least half of the global DRAM market and plans to expand monthly output to one million units by the middle of next year from 100,000 at the initial stage, Samsung said. The module is made with 0.23-micron-fine processing and operates at between 900 megahertz and one gigahertz. It can process the equivalent of 128,000 newspaper pages a second, 10 times faster than the synchronous DRAMs, Samsung said. Samsung Electronics, the $13 billion flagship of the Samsung Group [SAGR.CN], is the world's largest DRAM supplier. Rambus Inc is based in Mountain View, California.
