Rambus: The New Richard Hatch? Here is an excerpt from an article in the Feb 2002, issue of Maximum PC Magazine (Page 12) Intel finally goes DDR. In a related article on the same page is another small article. Here is an excerpt Rambus: The New Richard Hatch? (Intel plays a game of “Survivor” with all it’s memory options If Intels memory roadmap were a game show, it would definitely resemble ”Survivor”. Currently, three different memory types-PC133, DDR, RDRAM are vying for Intel’s support, if not the Ultimate Win…... Surprisingly industry experts say RDRAM will survive. But don’t get too cozy with PC133 if you want to build alliances. RDRAM is suddenly a new OEM Favorite. Both Intel and some large OEM’s we've interviewed tell us the faster-clocked “Northwood” version of the P4 offers better performance when paired with high-speed, serialized RDRAM. They say DDR Bottlenecks Nothwood as CPU speeds increase, whereas RDRAM doesn’t. And to help grease the wheels of progress, Intel is expected to push RDRAM from 800MHz to 1066MHz by upping the frontside bus speed of the Pentium 4 later this year. So with DDR firmly in the middle and low end, and RDRAM at high end, it will likely be the kinder and gentler PC133 that gets voted off the motherboard. The Tribe has spoken. dg> Other than this article most articles in this magazine have been pretty negative toward RDRAM.
