The technological trends that are squeezing Rambus out of a market consist of embedded DRAM, high pin count packages, and system on chip. Here are three recent articles on those three subjects: Dramatic Progress With Embedded DRAM Jim Handy, memory analyst for Dataquest Inc. (San Jose, Calif.), said that embedded DRAM can increase system performance by increasing the communications bandwidth between the system's processor and memory. "I'm seeing a lot of this happening," he said. "People are taking advantage of DRAM technology, which allows them to put a lot of memory bits onto a small chip, and they are getting lots of bandwidth on the device. This is all really important stuff in this field." techweb.com The X-1 chip set, currently in register-transfer level simulation and set for midsummer release, will break some barriers in integration, particularly since the data path element will be offered in a 1,521-lead ball-grid-array package. It requires two companion chips: the buffer manager and scheduler ICs. techweb.com IBM researcher touts system-on-package techweb.com -- Carl
