Don, By reducing the number of banks inside the core, the companies expect to realize a smaller chip size, closer to SDRAM, and so boost yields. This would be a great way to make the average latency of DRDRAM even worse than it is now! Scumbria

As a Rambus Bull, I find the article troubling. With each passing day we find more and more cracks in the Rambus story appearing. I noticed they didn't even mention DDR in that story. Umm. I'd say Rambus had better win their SDRAM and DDR battles. AND SOON!

Great article Don Green, Its as though these memory xperts have: A) Not a scintilla of professional pride; B) Insufficient memory to recall all the original conflicting "Hype" they spun about the huge LATENCY PENALTIES of the DRDRAM design, and are too stupid to understand the significance of INTC's published benchmarks; C) Unlimited faith that we will buy any crap they shove out the door just because they say its really a lucious Baby Ruth; or D) All of the above. Actually, I have no idea what motivates the EE's (all 150 of them:8)and others that associate their names with this RMBS DISsolution; but its pretty obvious that if they are relying on "(C)" they won't miss their target by much. I can't wait to see what our local "design community" has to say about this load of BuS. It'll be almost as interesting to see what RMBS/INTC do to solve the LATENT embarrassment they are about to incur when DDR blows the pants off their vaunted DRDRAM "HIGH" performance. Obviously they will not be able to present us with another round of simultaneous benchmark postings like they did with PC133 and DRDRAM. Not that there isn't a REAL solution to their problem. ...Of course there's the little problem that they don't own the IP on the cure. Hey, but what's a little royalty payment between friends right?
