Intel has announced a new roadmap sighting additional rambus releases. The release of this new roadmap was an effort to keep up with DDR RAM and meet "memory demand". Here's a snip from an article at SiliconStrategies (http://www.siliconstrategies.com/):
But joining the 800-MHz RDRAM devices on its memory roadmap are two additional frequencies: 1,066 MHz and 1,200 MHz. Initially supplied by Samsung, Toshiba and Elpida, the new PC1066 and PC1200 RDRAM devices will become available in volume production in 2002 and 2005, respectively, according to the companies.
In addition to RDRAM device frequency increases, Rambus-enabled RIMM modules will be increased from 16-bits at the present time, to both 32- and 64-bit architectures in the future.
Personally, I hate RAMBUS. I see it as a failed attempt to grasp the memory market by Intel. Also, it's expensive! :eek: Catch the full story here (http://www.siliconstrategies.com/story/OEG20010612S0081).
