Rambus notiert immer noch fast auf Tiefststand.
Langfristig riskant, wegen den laufenden Prozessen, aber kurzfristig könnte durch die gestrige Meldung Bewegung in den Kurs kommen.

Taiwan Manufacturers Introduce 4-Layer
Motherboards Supporting Pentium 4 with RDRAM
Low Cost 4-Layer RDRAM Motherboards On Display at Computex
TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2001--Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq:RMBS -
news), the leading provider of high bandwidth chip-connection technologies, ASUSTek
Computer, Gigabyte Technology and Micro-Star International (MSI) today announced a
milestone in the RDRAM® cost reduction program with the introduction of 4-layer
Pentium®4 motherboards supporting two RDRAM Channels. These new 4-layer RDRAM
motherboards are cost competitive compared to SDRAM motherboards and are on display
this week during Computex in Taiwan.
``With its high-bandwidth and scalability, RDRAM sets a new benchmark in performance
and is a highly attractive memory architecture,'' states Jonathan Tsang, Vice-President,
ASUSTeK Computer, Inc. ``In addition to the P4T and P4T-M in mass production today,
ASUS is very proud to launch new 4-layer Pentium 4 motherboards based on advanced
RDRAM technology, delivering competitive cost vs. SDRAM boards for the mainstream
desktop PC market.''
``MSI 850 Pro motherboards fully utilize the high bandwidth Rambus RDRAMs provide to
satisfy the demanding memory needs of Desktop PCs,'' said Jeans Huang, Vice President of
Micro-star Int'l Co., Ltd. ``To meet cost/performance criteria of mainstream market, we're
launching the new 4-layer products, based on Intel 850 chipset and featured RDRAM
memory, in Computex Taipei.''
Today, there are over 300 RDRAM-based systems available including desktop PCs,
workstations, consumer platforms as well as high performance, single and dual processor
motherboards. RDRAM devices with data rate transfers of up to 800MHz enable a single
Rambus Channel to achieve bandwidth of up to 1.6 gigabytes per second. Rambus
technology allows architects the flexibility to incorporate multiple channels to scale memory
capacity and bandwidth to meet system requirements. Intel 840 and Intel 850 chipset-based
desktops and PC workstations and Sony's PlayStation®2 utilize two Rambus Channels for a
total of 3.2 gigabytes per second of memory bandwidth.
Aber wie gesagt - hier wurde ja ausdrücklich nach Zocks gefragt.
