Rambus is reporting that they are not out of sight in Intel's future, yet. They also appear to be somewhat bitter of Intel's implementation of DDR products:
According to Intel's revised roadmap, the company in the second half of 2002 will roll out a chipset code-named Granite Bay that will support DDR SDRAM in workstations equipped with a single Xeon processor. In the same time frame, the DDR-enabled Placer chipset will debut for workstations using two Xeon MPUs.
The devices will coexist with the Intel 850 and 860 chipsets, which support RDRAM in single- and dual-processor applications, respectively. Sources said Intel will also upgrade the RDRAM-enabled chipsets to accommodate its upcoming 533MHz frontside processor bus.
“We're leaving it up to the market to determine the fate of each memory type,” said Pete MacWilliams, an Intel fellow and the company's director of platform architecture, in an interview last week at the Intel Developer Forum.
