Thanks for the slides on JAZiO. From the looks of it, it seems that JAZiO is taking a totally radical new approach at signaling interfaces between chips in a system. Conventional technologies use high and low voltages to designate '1' and '0' logic states. But JAZiO uses voltages to signal 'change' or 'no change' in the logic state. Then through the use of advanced techniques which are way over my head, JAZiO is able to transmit more data per pin than even Rambus. Supposedly JAZiO allows for relaxed "slew rates" (the rate at which a signal's voltage changes, which determines the maximum clock speed), which means more bandwidth with less electrical hassle.

If the theory is sound, which I can't tell at the moment, then all that is needed is a viable business strategy from JAZiO. They could potentially become a competitor to Rambus, but as we all know, the superiority of a technology is only half of the formula for success. The other half is execution, where we find out whether there are any hidden "gotchas" in JAZiO's technology.
