Rambus is grappling with the ever-changing dynamics of the DRAM/semiconductor industry. The company is actively defending its patent portfolio through litigation and exploring both partnerships and industry standards for keys to future profitability and growth. How can Rambus best shape the direction of the DRAM market? Should it partner with Intel and, if so, how?
