With just a few weeks to go before Intel ships the Camino chipset, Samsung Electronics Co is gearing up its pre-fight Rambus rhetoric, claiming its second generation Rambus technology is six months ahead of the oppostion, and primed to pinch 60% of the $250m global high-speed memory market this year. Samsung is betting that the Camino chipset will accelerate demand for complementary high-speed memory, and the Korean company says it is ready to beat prospective rivals to the punch in the new market. When competitors ship products next year, it plans to retain at least 35% of a market set to mushroom in value to as much as $4bn.
