Their previous history is one of deceit
low bandwith and modules running way to
hot.
I hope they wither and die.
Once the memory makers got together and decided on a standard for memory modules. Rambus left the meetings and ran to the patent office trying to make the tech proprietary. They lost.

there is GDDR5-hardware out there that does more than 7Gb/pin/sec, which compares quite nicely to 16Gb/diff-pair/sec. And those GDDR5-parts you can buy right now, including real memory, not just a nice prototype without real memory.

The essence of the story is that going to differential pairs requires a huge jump (x2) in performance just to compensate the loss of half of your data-pins ...

cheers

It'd be nice if they could improve storage subsystems to the point where this massive amount of bandwidth could actually be exploited.
