Cirruslvr, Re <RAMBUS> What I've heard at the "pool" that the RAMBUS testing in systems revealed a design flaw - a sort of race condition in some situations. Therefore all licensed cores from RAMBUS have this flaw, including Intel controllers. I guess Elmer was right about difficulties in testability, so the flaw was discovered at very late stages in system-level testing. This would explain the desperate attempts to revive the project by lowering RAMBUS frequencies drastically. I suspect it will not help much.
