Hi all; Hey morons! Got QRSL? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Here's what you losers were saying about this dead, dead, dead technology:

My opinion that I stated last night is that Toshiba signed new license with RMBS because in the future they need to supply SONY with next generation QRSL, Quad speed Rambus signaling level, IP products. No other DRAM supplier faces the similar dilemna IMO. #reply-13912277 also #reply-13908475

To the RMBS detractors ....
I don't think Rambus is stopping at QRSL (x4), maybe x8 x16 x32 x64, oh you get the point. And, oh yeah then there's the patents to end all patents; ... By the way a stocks worth in is the eye of the holder, and if one believes then it is so. #reply-13916249

" When asked about the company's future mission, Kanadjian said, "Our goal is that our new technology QRSL (quad Rambus signaling levels) should be used in all gaming devices in the future."
Hey Richard (and other longs),
Were you at all concerned with this "limited" goal?
I mean just gaming devices????????
What happened to all the other stuff????? #reply-14278105

I think you are wrong about that. It is more about the future of the DRAM industry. Rambus has a advanced technology that deliver 4,132 Mb per second per 16 bit channel and 8,264 MB per second per channel with the QRSL signaling. This is an opportunity for NEC to get established in the high performance market.
DDR is not going to be able to play in that league. #reply-14373473 also #reply-14320421 #reply-14304013 #reply-14292508 #reply-14274009 #reply-14143423 #reply-14140884

Too bad you'll never see them [i.e. DDR SDRAM chips] in PCs. They can't even get one channel DDR working. And DDR has run out of breath in video cards too. Doesn't look good for DDR. I bet during 2001/2002 we'll see a shift to QRSL designs for video cards. #reply-14469177
QRSL in graphics cards will be a reality in 2001. #reply-14443530

Jim, From public sources I have come to the conclusion that PS2 will not use RDRAM. I believe it will use QRSL. This is based on comments from engineers that have seen (and publicly commented on) full scope plots of QRSL signalling and concluded that it is ideal for applications where memory is soldered in place i.e. short channels - such as is possible with games consoles and other specialised devices that require high bandwidth and low cost. #reply-14638393
By contrast, I noted that QRSL wasn't going to be a player here: #reply-14141069
Now, nearly 2 years later, you can barely find information about QRSL at the Rambus web site. No new press release mentions since over a year ago, and the most recent two were rather weak:
Rambus Presents System Solutions at Intel Developer Forum

Rambus Presents Two Technology Papers at ISSCC
Press Release, Rambus, February 6, 2001
...
The second presentation highlighted a 25% increase in bandwidth of Rambus' QRSL signaling technology to a transfer rate of 2 Gigabits per second per pin (Gb/s/pin). In addition, the paper demonstrates the first disclosure of an operational four-slave configuration. Titled, "A 2Gb/s/pin 4-PAM Parallel Bus Interface with Transmit Crosstalk Cancellation & Equalization and Integrating Receivers", this presentation detailed the design of a 2Gb/s/pin single-ended 4-PAM interface and showed measured system margins in a test system representing a low-cost consumer environment.

Another bad idea from Rambus that didn't fly, but cost investors a lot of money. Rambus put out the QRSL BS at just the right time to get a lot of gullible investors to take shares off of the insiders hands at record prices.
I can hardly wait to see what the class action shareholder lawyers come up with in discovery. This is going to be one hell of a fun story to watch.

I think the major effect of being able to produce PC1000 will be that PC800 yields will go up significantly and the prices will come down. #reply-13939492

Where's the DDR-I in PC systems? And how fast do you think the industry will want to move to DDR-IV after they have problems implementing DDR-I? #reply-13904855 |
