mdronline.com@19869323ywzqmn/mpf02/conf_2.html
Wednesday begins with a Key Note from Ken Kutaragi about the Sony PSII. Ken will be in full scale sell mode just like he was at Embedded Processor Forum in May. He will certainly tout Rambus as one of the reasons PSII is so great. This should be Rambus' finest hour at this year's Forum.
<Enabling the Next Era of Digital Entertainment
Ken Kutaragi, President & CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment
The executive behind Sony's highly successful PlayStation will present his views on how powerful microprocessors and digital media will change the entertainment landscape.>
Following that is a session on 3D Graphics:
<Accelerating 3D, Multimedia, and Network Processing
Moderator: Peter N. Glaskowsky, Senior Analyst, Cahners MicroDesign Resources
Today's fastest processors are those designed for multimedia, and many of today's graphics chips outstrip desktop processors in complexity and bandwidth while selling for less than $30. What enables these remarkable achievements? In this session, we'll hear from the makers of some of the newest and most interesting media processors and graphics chips on the market.>
There will be 5 presentations in this session including Sun's MAJC processor and there is certain to be some of them directly interfacing to Rdram. A panel with all the presenters will follow and there are certain to be questions about Rambus from the audience.
Following that are sessions on DSP Processors and Embedded Processors. These represent granularity opportunities for Rambus. It will be interesting to see how many of these products support Rambus.
To wrapup there is this panel
<Panel: The Future of Microprocessor Design
Moderator: Michael Slater, Cahners MicroDesign Resources
Panelists:Fred Pollack, Intel; Anant Agrawal, Sun Microelectronics; Peter Bannon, Compaq; Martin Hopkins, IBM; Fred Weber, AMD>
Certainly Rambus will be one of the things discussed.
