Rambus (RMBS)

[cordob]

Kent, the $ 500 M Intel "gave" to Micron has nothing to do with patent laundering to which you reply.

Itel got shares for that on which they got a $ 1.5 B to $ 2 B profit so they were very happy.
Intel has also publicly said at the time they had no problem with MU. MU had a license from Rambus so 1) they have paid the up-front license fee and 2) if they produced any rdram they paid royalies for them.

Micron produces DDR2, Intel cancels the DDR2 with Micron.
Kent, I think you are quite confused here. The ramp up is slower than Intel wanted, that's all, it is still happening.

Intel may be the dark force behind all of this.

That is possible

... but didn't this last one say the cash flow is 8.6 mill. If my numbers are right that means Rambus' cash flow is negative without the 10 mill from Intel.

Correct, so to say something positive about Intel: they helped rambus through a very difficult period by the $ 10 M a quarter. Do you think rambus would have had enough cash to sue Intel as well? I don't think so.
