KZ,
I've read all the reports and some of them imply stubs but I don't trust the news media to accurately report on complex
technical problems on short notice so I'm just hoping to find out the real story on Monday. Hopefully Intel and Rambus
will come clean and explain exactly what the problem is. However, it may just be hype and spin.
Hype, spin, stubs, none of them good.
Where's this whole thing breaking down? I've read some articles in the past by Intel engineers that made it seem like they had invested in hiring people with experience in very high frequency system and board design. Transmission line theory, impedance control and matching, various termination schemes, stubs, reflections, on and on. What happened? This stuff has been around all through the ECL machines era, making it 30 years or so.
Find out more tomorrow, as you say.
Tony
