SwitchCore is the second switch-chip maker to endorse the Rambus technology, following Texas Instruments Inc.'s recent announcement of a switching chip based on Rambus' memory technology. Other LAN-switch chip makers have yet to endorse the Rambus technology. Instead, their products support SDRAMs, in part due to the high cost of using the Rambus technology, analysts said. SwitchCore will use Rambus' 800-MHz memory-interface architecture in its new Layer 3-based switching chip. The chip, to be shipped by year's end, is said to be a 10/100-Mbit/s, single-chip solution with 16 uplinks to 1-Gbit/s Ethernet networks.Targeted for high-end applications, Layer 3 switches route data from one address to another over various protocols, including AppleTalk, Internet Protocol, IPX, SNA and others.
