OT: how much do memory makers make ?

"....Rambus' unusually high royalty rates helped
provoke the legal confrontation. In the ***ia trial,
 Rambus executives disclosed that the company
charges a 3.5 percent royalty for one of its memory
chip designs, about three times the industry average.

The higher royalty expense can make the difference
between a profit and loss for chip makers...."

3.5% royalty makes the diff between
profit and loss, then how much do they actually make ?
2% profit ?

then what's the point of the business ?

About the same as for being in the grocery business, which suffers from
similar low markups.
