Dear Jim:
Since you don't, I assume you can't. You should look at Samsungs other PDF files for other technologies before "shooting from the hip". I am a computer programmer since 1973 (and calculators before that). Back then, to do a good job of extracting maximum use from expensive hardware, you have to understand how it does what it does. I built Computers from scratch (real foils, ICs, etc.), programmed embedded systems (the REAL real time systems), networking at 110 Baud (WAN), and worked on Multiple Computer Hetrogeneous Systems. I can follow most technical discussions on these topics including IC design, CPU architecture, Communications , RF, Optical, and Power Engineering. Since I have worked with both hardware and software, I can see the tradeoffs and design choices involved.
Real discussion requires both to understand the thing being discussed or at least the willingness to explore the topic in a straight forward manner. If you disagree, tell me what your viewpoint is and what arguments and data to back your views up. I have been known to agree when I am mistaken after all the relevant facts are agreed to.
RAMBUS has its place. It is where one or two chips are needed. It is not designed for scalability to the levels required for high performance PCs (or workstations). The customers have spoken (OEMs and almost all the buyers of high end computers). RAMBUS fails here due to cost and scalability.
