Intel Dumping RAMBUS? -- 10:15 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun
In the hot-and-juicy,-but-I'm-not-so-sure-it's-true department, Cahners Electronics Group is reporting that they have received documents indicating that Intel will dump RAMBUS for the mainstream PC market. Here's a quote:Intel's Desktop 2001 Roadmap Update indicates direct Rambus DRAM (RDRAM) will only be used in the high-end desk-top market. Until last month, Intel had promised that RDRAM would be the exclusive memory for the Pentium 4 (P4). Now an undefined SDRAM memory (probably PC133 or DDR) will be used in its place.While this isn't surprising given the problems plaguing RAMBUS, it is surprising in that it is a major turnaround in Intel's strategy. If it is true, it is welcome news. Thanks Slashdot.
