Intel dismisses 'mobile Rambus dead' claims

Intel has denied that it has canned Rambus support in notebook computers -- despite
claims from industry sources, cited by Electronic Buyer's News, to the contrary.

According to the sources, Chipzilla's Greendale project is now dead. Greendale's
remit was to develop a chipset to allow mobile PCs to use Rambus Direct DRAM.

Intel, on the other hand, says it still plans to get a mobile Rambus chip-set out
sometime next year. Or maybe the year after...

Hardly, a tight schedule. So given the problems Intel had with the Camino roll-out,
maybe it's playing it very cautious this time. Whether that means the project is dead
or postponed until such a time as it becomes clear that OEMs actually want a
mobile Rambus chipset remains to be seen.

Rambus is well suited to mobile applications, thanks to its power-saving features,
but with market research projections currently suggesting DDR SDRAM will outsell
Direct DRAM by a massive margin for the next couple of years at least, it's
questionable how much OEMs will want mobile Rambus at all. ©
