more good info. November 6, 1998 (SEOUL) -- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the world's largest maker of memory chips, said Nov. 4 that it developed a high-speed 144Mb Rambus DRAM chip and a 144MB Rambus DRAM module. "Our new Rambus chip functions 15 times faster than normal DRAM chips and six times faster than synchronous DRAM chips," a Samsung official said. He added that the prototype memory chip to be used in midsize and large computers is twice as fast as a 72Mb chip that Samsung released in July. "Monthly production will reach 100,000 units starting next year and increase to 1 million chips a month by the second half of 1999," the Samsung official said. With the advent of the Rambus DRAM module, global PC makers are expected to replace their existing synchronous DRAM modules with Samsung's new module, which employs a 0.23 micron design rule and is capable of handling data equivalent to 128,000 newspaper pages a second. "With our new chip and module, we hope to continue to lead the next-generation memory chip market," the Samsung official said. The global market for 144Mb Rambus DRAMs is estimated at US$2.6 billion in 1999, and it's projected to reach US$13.5 billion in 2000. (Maeil Business Newspaper, Korea)
