Scumbria and other techies...

Cirrus Logic was just granted a patent (June 1, 1999) that has something to do with RDRAM as you can see below. Can anyone shed some light on this? I also own some Cirrus. I have posted the patent link below for full info.

<As shown in FIG. 2, the frame buffer 85 preferably comprises a bank of RAMBUS RAM (referred to herein as RDRAM),
where the digital data stored in the RDRAM comprises a rectangular array of picture elements referred to as pixels or pixel
values. The RDRAM buffer 85 provides a performance improvement by permitting faster access to display list instructions and
pixel data, compared to accessing data stored in the main memory 75 of the host computer system. A RAMBUS interface
(RIF) 140 preferably interfaces the rendering engines 125, 130, 135 and peripheral devices 120 to the RDRAM frame buffer
85. The RAMBUS interface 140 preferably connects directly to one or more RAMBUS access channels (RAC) 155. Each
RAC is capable of supplying burst data at clock speeds up to 528 Mbytes per second. Requests to access the RAMBUS
channels come from the modules shown in FIG. 2, including the 2D engine 130, 3D engine 135 and the other peripheral
devices. The RAMBUS access channels 155 connect to the RDRAM 85 to transfer pixel data to and from the RDRAM 85.>
