from intel dated 5/15/99 developer.intel.com this is the first intel reference i have seen to rambus and servers. although it is dated last month, i believe it was posted to the intel site within the last day. notice the rdram-d, do we have a name change? unclewest Time for a Change: the new DRAM The address-multiplexed DRAM has been a staple of the computer industry for so long it is hard to imagine anything coming along to replace it, but that time has come. Intel has already announced that its next generation desktop microprocessors and chip sets will be designed to work with a new DRAM design called Rambus* DRAM Direct or RDRAM-D. Representing the second generation of Rambus memory designs, the new part offers very high memory bandwidth, low parts count, and greatly improved latency. While RDRAM-D is well suited to the desktop PC environment with its relatively small memory requirement, there is still work to be done to make it viable in servers. Given the potential cost penalty of using lower-volume, non-desktop DRAM designs for SHV servers, Intel has launched an intense effort to make RDRAM-D as attractive for servers as it is for PCs.
