Dave_B, <Developing their own technology rather than being a copier of Intel has worked well for ARM. >
Maybe one day Intel also will buy a license to
manufacture Athlons :)
<another company that Rambus can sue for stealing their IP! ;) ;)>
You are a sick man. I repeat: Rambus has no
intellectual property to protect. All claims
in their original application are nonsense,
childish bubbling, at least in the original form,
when commands and data were going to share
the same bus. Apparently after they learn something
from JEDEC meetings, it become clear to them that
this penguin is not going to fly, so they tried to fix
their bussed (busted) idea. If you do not
undrstand yet, none of their claims are in use
in current RIMM memories (maybe the multiplexor,
what an invention!), at least most of the key
elements are not claimed in their "patents", -
windows crossing and inter-domain
synchronization for example. All Rambus patents
are about few chips on wires shorter than
half-clock flight time, or 4-5" long only.
Therefore hope only for PS2 and few video cards,
and forget about millions of PCs market.
<I didn't say it had to be for Windows, that was your (idiotic?) assumption. >
What makes you think the assumption is idiotic?
Using a well-known car analogy, are you proposing
to enter an automotive business with a car
which by design would require a parallel
road to build along every road and street in the US
and in all other world? I think you admire the
iTanic idea too, but there is a difference.
