SALIENT FEATURE •
•
•
•
Intel as world’s largest chip manufacturer Intel good at producing faster microprocessor But not at PC memory chip Rambus producing high speed memory chip for PC Making of memory chips by Rombus were fast and expensive

SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGTH
Intel capacity to produce high speed microprocessor Rambus capacity to produce high speed memory chip Intel efficient money and marketing muscle Favorable investment strategy in Samsung and Micron Technology •
•
WEAKNESS
Poor Rambus strategy Expensive and difficult making of Rambus memory chip Flaw in PC boards of Rambus •
•
•
•
•
OPPORTUNITY
THREAT
Intel may reap more benefit due to Slowing PC market may hamper investment in Micron and Samsung Intel's profit High profit margin due to its Dependency on Rambus memory efficient microprocessor microprocessor chip will badly effect its Pentium 4 microprocessor chips market along with existing Lack of support to Rambus from memory chip producer and chip maker will make the situation more 02/06/09 group 7 5 •

DREK MODEL •
•
Intel is having leadership position with high brand strength (i.e. differentiation and relevance) and high brand stature (i.e. esteem and knowledge) On the other hand Rambus is at new/unfocused position position due to low on brand strength and brand strature

THE FIVE FORCES •
The threat of entry of new competitors (new entrants) is nil due to slowing PC market
•
The threat of substitutes in the form of slower and cheaper memory chip •
•
•
The bargaining power of buyers is more due to slowing PC market The bargaining power of suppliers in increased due to availability of cheaper types t ypes of memories The degree of rivalry between existing competitors is quite obvious from the legal suit by Rambus on Hitachi and other companies

FUTURE SCENERIO •
•
•
Intel may emerge as a high profit making company with independent microprocessor microprocessor making and high share value Intel may incur losses due to slowing PC market Rambus may incur more losses due to PC makers favoring slower but cheaper types of memories

SUGGESTION •
•
Intel should break off from Rambus due to slowing PC market and expensive making of memory chips Intel should reduce dependency on other company for technological innovation
