Hi Mark, All, Re winning new ESDRAM business The problem with regard to entering new segments as most already are aware is "density" & "multiple sourcing"... so Sikes stated in a recent release that they are working on it... while I haven't got a clue as to what critical manufacturing issues there are to consider my "feeling" - as also indicated in the Sharky discussion of HSDRAM - is that ESDRAM is an extension of proven technologies and thus manufacturing should pose less of a problem than DRDRAM (maybe some tech-savvy lurkers could for once please fill in here...) also, some Taiwanese fab recently aquired advanced DRAM process technology from IBM - and process compatibilty was discussed here some time last year I believe - Perhaps, things are slowly falling into place... Jonas BTW Oh Sikes also said something about having to educate OEMs... I realized what an important task this would be when I was at CEBIT and asked a couple of cos. about ESDRAM... they thought I was ME MAD II...they never heard of it - but one Asian company was very interested and made a note of Ramtron....
