Rambus is the only game in town for these processor speeds. Rambus probably owns ddr technology but, even if it did'nt, Ddr is an inferior technology and way, way late to market. WSJ 2/3/00, Technology Briefs Intel, AMD to Declare Chip-Speed Breakthrough The two largest makers of microprocessors for personal computers will square off next week in the race to produce the world's fastest personal-computer chip. Intel Corp., Santa Clara, Calif., is expected to announce Monday that it has designed a microprocessor that runs at the speed of 1 gigahertz, or a billion cycles a second. Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif., is expected to make a similar declaration the same day. The companies plan to make their announcements at the International Solid State Circuits Conference in San Francisco. The fastest chips currently made by both competitors have a speed of 800 megahertz. Microprocessor vendors have wanted to break the 1-gigahertz barrier for years. But the new chips aren't expected to be available in PCs for a while: Intel and AMD so far have said only that they will begin selling them by the end of the year.
