AMD taps Direct RDRAM for performance boost

By Lisa DiCarlo, PC Week Online
October 7, 1998





Advanced Micro Devices Inc., on a roll after announcing an unexpected quarterly profit on Tuesday, today said it will license the Direct Rambus DRAM memory interface for future chip sets.

The company's decision to use Direct RDRAM will help put its systems on par with Intel Corp.'s in terms of performance.

Direct RDRAM, developed by Rambus Inc., is the successor to synchronous dynamic RAM. It is the same memory type around which Intel is designing motherboards and that it plans to support in its 1999 chip sets.

According to AMD, Direct RDRAM will enable peak bandwidth of 1.6GB per second.

AMD, of Sunnyvale, Calif., said that Direct RDRAM will be the main memory interface for its future PC platforms, and that it already has working samples of the chips.
