Feds open antitrust case against Rambus | |
|

| Time: 11:12 EST/16:12 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

U.S. antitrust enforcers opened their case against technology company Rambus on Wednesday, telling a federal judge that Rambus had used a campaign of deception to illegally monopolize key computer chip technologies. Attorneys for the Federal Trade Commission told U.S. Administrative Law Judge Stephen McGuire that Rambus duped the industry into adopting its own patented computer chip technology as a standard. As a result, the FTC attorneys argued, Rambus is in a position to reap billions of dollars from computer chip manufacturers such as Micron Technology and Korea's Hynix Semiconductor. "We're here because Rambus wants fair compensation for (its) inventions," Rambus attorney Gregory Stone said. At issue is technology used for computer memory. In 1990, Rambus filed for a patent for a new memory technology called RDRAM. But it subsequently became a member of an industry group called JEDEC, which was trying to agree on a standard for another memory technology called SDRAM. | ||

People who need rdram buy it! :)
SDRAM prices are up. DDR prices are down. All my machines at home, with the exception of my laptop use SDRAM. I'm waiting for double bit rate super DDR with hyper extension power, or whatever the next generation will be. Then I'll upgrade my main desktop with one of those 3 Ghz hyperthreading P4 chips. Well when they get under $200 that is. So sometime later this year maybe. :) |

Too little and too late. Rambus is now no longer a major player in PC market. Where are the Feds when Rambus was actively suing all the memory chip makers? However, I won't mind another nail on the coffin of Rambus. Companies like that deserve to die. This post was edited by Foxbat on Friday, May 02, 2003 at 10:55. |
