Da haben sich unsere postings überschnitten.

Zum Zeitpunkt der letzten Jahreswende startete RMBS im Bereich 16.-$ eine tolle Ralley ! - Ob jetzt aus den 16.-$ eine Widerstandsmarke wird ?

[barabo]

Payne scheint erstmal zweitrangig.
Vorbörslich stehen wir bei 15,60 $ und Ursache ist doch wohl, dass RMBS langsam aber sicher den Eindruck vermittelt, dass auch sie schnellstmöglich aus dem Prozessschlamassel raus wollen.

@barabo
Wenn wir ca. 15,3 $ eröffnen und höher schließen, stünde das Kaufsignal auf festeren Beinen.

schau mal bei IB rein: aktuell bid 15.55 / ask 15.69 44.800k

Noch etwas aus myreserarch:


Angesichts der derzeitig im Kurzfristigen ziemlich suboptimalen Kursentwicklung mal etwas Kaffeesatzleserei und Mutmache zu früher Stunde am neuen Tag:

http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/AMDs-plan-Glueless-C…

In Tom's Hardwareforum wird über die künftige Entwicklung infolge Zusammenschluss AMD-ATI philosophiert:
Die CPU's (von AMD) mit der GPU (von ATI) auf einem gemeinsamen DIE (mit künftig ausreichend Platz), gekoppelten Prozessoren (über Hypertransport mit Prozessoren von SUN auf gleichem Sockel) dann noch XDR2 Speicher (mit ausreichender Bandbreite für det janze) und AMD`s Lizenz von Rambus.

Hört sich gut an, wirkt aber doch etwas geklebt. Rambus wäre aber dann da, wo sie schon mal hinwollten, nämlich im Massenmarkt, dauert aber wohl noch ein Weilchen.

AMD baut dann das, was INTEL mit TIMNA und Rambus Speicher vor langer Zeit schon mal hatte (und infolge künstlich teurem rambus-Speicher floppte):

http://hardware.silicon.com/desktops/0,39024645,39160764,00.…


Auch woanders wird die künftige Bedeutung des Arbeitsspeichers beleuchtet:

http://uk.theinquirer.net/?article=33256

Aktuelle Tatsache ist, dass durch den Zusammenschluss AMD / ATI der Druck auf Intel verstärkt wird, insbesondere durch die gleichzeitige Zuwendung DELL -> AMD.
Dell dürfte sich bei dieser Entscheidung so seine Gedanken zur mittelfristigen technischen Entwicklung gemacht haben, und das, trotz der jetzt neuen, im Vergleich mit AMD schnelleren (Einzel-) Prozessoren von Intel.

http://uk.theinquirer.net/?article=33281

Mit ein klein wenig Phantasie:
Die Verbindungstechniken CPU / CPU und CPU / GPU wird angesichts der fortschreitenden Parallelisierung aller im Computer beteiligten Elemente weiter an Bedeutung gewinnen, und hier kann Rambus für alle (INTEL / AMD / ATI / IBM / SUN NVIDIA ) jede Menge KNOW HOW einbringen, auch wenn Rambus mal eine Zeitlang nicht an der Börse gelistet ist, also: Kaufkurs.

Und Intel wird kurzfristig seine Linzenz erneuern (müssen, im Itanium steckt jede Menge Rambus-Technik.

Kaffesatz: Vor lauter Meldungen über Prozesse, Optionsskandalen und Sammelklagen, was entwickelt Rambus eigentlich derzeit ? Seit XDR2

Was meint ihr dazu?



I read that Judge Payne has issue is opinion on the spoilation case in regard with IFX and it is rumor that the FTC full commission is going to use his words to void Rambus's IP rights on July 31st!

If true look for a massive drop in the stock because this will destroy Whytes verdict completely and set it aside because Payne verdict was first and Whyte was later.

Rambus is f*cked again it seems! IFX payout was foolish and it come back to haunt Rambus with Paynes opinion on the case anyways!

Holy cow; Batman

Ich bin ja mal gespannt, wie der heutige Handelstag mit der Schadenersatzannahme umgeht ?

Lese ich richtig, das Payne wieder im Spiel ist?

Federal Judge Attacks Rambus' Legal Tactics in Patent Cases

The Recorder

Less than a week after a San Jose, Calif., federal judge slashed Rambus' $306 million award in its patent infringement case against Hynix Semiconductor Inc., another federal judge in Virginia piled on, criticizing the Los Altos, Calif., chip manufacturer's outside counsel.

In a searing 116-page opinion issued July 18, U.S. District Judge Robert Payne attacked Rambus' legal tactics in past patent cases against Samsung Electrics Co. and German chip company Infineon Technologies AG. The judge also discounted explanations of Rambus' conduct provided by IP litigator Daniel Johnson Jr. Johnson -- now a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius -- advised Rambus in the late 1990s as a lawyer at Cooley Godward.

Payne also criticized -- respectfully -- his San Jose judicial colleague Ronald Whyte, who had come to a different conclusion about Rambus' shredding of documents than Payne.

Payne's opinion came amid an attempt by Samsung to win attorney fees after Rambus filed patent infringement counterclaims against Samsung in Virginia.

In his opinion, Payne stated it is "quite clear" Rambus purposely shredded millions of pages of documents in the late 1990s as it was preparing to sue a slew of its rivals for infringing one of its chip design patents.

Of course, that isn't the first time Rambus had to deal with a shredding issue before Payne. In a prior patent infringement action against Infineon, Payne had ruled Rambus' shredding prevented the company from prosecuting its claims under the doctrine of "unclean hands."

Rambus promptly settled the Infineon case for $150 million -- before Payne's ruling could be published and become binding on other courts.

Last week, Payne didn't award Samsung the attorney fees it had sought. But he did find that Rambus destroyed documents, even as it planned litigation against its rivals.

In discussing Johnson's explanations of Rambus' shredding, Payne said the lawyer's "defensive and adversarial manner might be attributed in part to the fact that his advice to Rambus was incomplete."

"In Johnson's presentations to Rambus," Payne continued, "he failed to explain that spoliation could occur not only on the 'eve of litigation,' as he put it, but also if documents were destroyed when the company anticipated, or reasonably should have anticipated, litigation."

Johnson could not be reached by press time.

Rambus' John Danforth declined to publicly comment on Payne's opinion Wednesday, but the company issued a statement late in the day.

"While we agree with the decision that our payment of Samsung's attorney's fees is unwarranted, we disagree with other aspects of the opinion, which are inconsistent with those of the federal court here in San Jose," the statement read. "We are evaluating our options on how to proceed."

It is unclear how Payne's ruling will affect Rambus' litigation against other chipmakers. Samsung attorney David Healey Weil, Gotshal & Manges wasn't sure whether Payne's opinion would be published. But he said it is public.

"It's a final judgment, and it's binding," Healey said.

Payne's opinion came just four days after U.S. District Judge Whyte told Rambus it had a month to agree to drastically reduce its $306.9 million jury verdict against rival chip manufacturer Hynix or take its chances at a new damages trial.

In addition to Payne's harsh words for Johnson, he also took issue with Whyte's rulings. In Rambus' patent suit against Hynix, the San Jose judge had ruled Rambus did not have unclean hands because of the shredding.

"The Hynix decision appears to be significantly influenced by the view that 'the evidence here does not support the conclusion that Rambus intentionally designed its document retention policy to get rid of particular damaging documents,'" Payne wrote. "The record, it is respectfully submitted, shows quite clearly that Rambus acted intentionally to rid its files of discoverable documents because of the damage that such documents could do in litigation."
