Ramtron = nächste Rambus?

Habe Ramtron (RMTR, WKN 925171) schon mehrfach empfohlen und bin weiterhin investiert.
Neueste Info (19.07.2000, von www.quicken.excite.com)
- Kernaussage auf Deutsch:
Tochterfirma von RMTR demonstriert auf Platform 2000 Konferenz, dass ein PC mit ihrem HSDRAM 28% bis 49% schneller ist als der gleiche PC mit Rambus RDRAM oder PC SDRAM.

Nun überlegt mal, was das bedeutet....

Enhanced Memory Systems High-Density HSDRAM Demonstrates Top Pentium Workstation Performance Benchmarks; High-Density PC133 HSDRAM Pushes Memory Capacity To 2GB Wednesday, July 19, 2000 09:10 AM                                                                             Mail this article to a friend
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19, 2000--Enhanced Memory Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Ramtron International Corporation (Nasdaq:RMTR, news, msgs), announced that a low-cost workstation using its high-density PC133 High-Speed SDRAM (HSDRAM) is being demonstrated at the Platform 2000 Conference in San Jose, Calif. today. This workstation reference design demonstrates that a simple Windows 2000 white-box system using a 933 MHz Pentium III, ASUS P3V4X mainboard, MicroStar MS-8809 Phantom GeForce graphics adapter, and up to 2GB of its low-latency unbuffered HSDRAM DIMM modules can beat high-end workstations using PC-100 and Direct Rambus DRAM on industry-standard CSA Labs OfficeBench 2.1 benchmarks. Enhanced Memory Systems documents the reference design and provides direct sales of high-density HSDRAM products through its websites: www.mushkin.com and www.pc133memory.com.
The HSDRAM reference design running at 800 MHz achieves 28% to 49% higher performance on the OfficeBench multitasking benchmark than similar systems using Direct Rambus DRAM and PC100 SDRAM, respectively.
"Our workstation reference design demonstrates that computer resellers and MIS organizations can assemble top performing systems using our low-latency HSDRAM," said David Bondurant, vice president of marketing for Enhanced Memory Systems. "The extra performance margin of HSDRAM allows memory expansion to 2GB using a low-cost ASUStek motherboard."
High-Performance DRAM Products
Enhanced Memory Systems is a leading specialty DRAM company. Enhanced began shipping its first low-latency enhanced DRAM (EDRAM(R)) products in 1992. Enhanced currently supplies low-latency enhanced synchronous DRAM (ESDRAM) and high-speed SDRAM (HSDRAM) products that are compatible with the industry-standard SDRAM. The ESDRAM architecture was approved as a SDRAM superset for both SDRAM and DDR SDRAM in 1998. In 1999, Enhanced entered a technology agreement with Cypress Semiconductor to develop a product for the network communications market. In May of this year, Enhanced parent company Ramtron acquired Mushkin Inc. to provide expanded e-commerce outlets for the EMS product lines.
Enhanced Memory Systems is a fabless DRAM company with manufacturing agreements with top semiconductor companies, including Infineon Technologies, which recently purchased 20% of Enhanced in exchange for its advanced memory technology and wafer capacity. Enhanced is pursuing other strategic partnerships to advance its EDRAM, ESDRAM, HSDRAM, and ESRAM technologies in the marketplace.
The Enhanced Memory Systems products serve the DRAM, specialty DRAM and fast SRAM markets, which are expected to grow to more than $47 billion by the year 2001, according to Semico, a leading semiconductor market research firm.

Hört sich doch ganz gut an.

Das Unternehmen ist allerdings hoch verschuldet, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, da enorme Entwicklungskosten angefallen sind und der Absatz noch zu wünschen übrig lässt.

Heute immerhin 10% im Plus!!

Gruß Dampf  

moin....wenn sie nachhaltig über 20 $ steigen brechen sie tech. aus..der aufwaertstrend von ende mai ist weiterhin ok...good hunting

Ramtron z.Z. bei 22$/hohe Umsätze

Meiner Meinung nach ein eindeutiges Kaufsignal!

Gruß Dampf
