Personally, Rambus is a company that leaves a bad taste in the back of my throat. I remember all too well its duplicity and its outright mafia tactics on DDR.
That said, terabyte bandwidth is indeed going to be needed, and the sooner the better. So, if Rambus does manage to pull this off, I think it will be a good thing for everybody.
Now what I would like to know is the official status of this technology with regards to JEDEC. Are there patents, or is this going to be open to the public like DDR ? And, most importantly, who is Rambus going to sue this time ?

Nice for people that want to upgrade to a Pentium IV.. I guess :)


Obvious question is why have any memory at all? Use 600 mb/sec ssd as direct storage & memory. Bet its little change of scene behind sudden new invention here, BECAUSE MEMORY AIN'T CHEAP.

sAME CHIPS GET 50x MORE DINERO IN DDR PER GB, BESIDES BEING CLUNKIERS, than hd?

Certainly Ultie_Tom is dreaming in heavon, that mystical space of terraflops/ bandwidth.

Ultie iknows that to work whole show today had to be crimped down to slowest setting. about 8 mb/sec in Ultimate, to reduce failures. Latest mainboards are better than last summer, yet Ultimate is HUGE & needs lot o' fast action if its' to use all its muscle. By Not having to pick snippets off revolving platter, where even at 7,200 snippets/sec, cann't get close to near momentus BLAST that SSD or any predicted super fast memory gets, -=Instant=- hardrives of same revolving bandwidth class are scsi & not capable of all robust playing that desktops challenge o/s with. So U.L.T.I.E., RoadMap thickens & asscent up Great Ultie begins.
