Check out Rambuses credentials....
"Dr. Horowitz hails from Silver Springs, Maryland, and graduated high school in just two years (of a three year program).
He went on to earn Bachelors and Masters degrees in Electrical Engineering in four years from The Massachusetts Institute of Technology with <perfect 5.0 grade point average (MIT's highest grade is a 5.0, as opposed to 4.0 like most schools.) From there, he entered Stanford, where he received a PHD in integrated circuit design in 1983 after four years of study. Doing the simple math, Mr. Horowitz went from entering high school to achieving a PHD in just ten years. We don't mean to hype Dr. Horowitz, but his academic achievements are worth noting, in our opinion.
After graduating from Stanford, Dr. Horowitz was offered a position at the university, which he accepted and went on to run the research program in microprocessor design, and he taught Electrical Engineering. While teaching at Stanford, Dr. Horowitz consulted with a number of companies, one of which was MIPS Technology, where he met Mike Farmwald.
In 1988, he and Mike got together to discuss a concept Mike had been working on, and while Mark admitted he was somewhat skeptical of whether or not the technology would work, the more he thought about it, the more he was convinced Mike was on to something that could be rather compelling.""
These guys came up with the memory basics from DEAD RECKONING. It's humorous to me when I think of a standards committee trying to do this. If it ever got done it would take 50 years. |
