Fujitsu and Toshiba pool DRAM efforts

The Japanese companies will co-operate on one gigabit development

Fujitsu and Toshiba are to pool their efforts in DRAM development, the two companies announced in Japan earlier today.

Earlier this year Fujitsu announced the end of DRAM production at its fab in Co. Durham, UK, and in common with other Far Eastern manufacturers has been trying to switch production capacity away from unprofitable DRAM, and towards more profitable logic devices.
