Carl, maybe eDRAM in multi-chip modules uses Burst EDO (i.e. BEDO), not necessarily EDO. I don't know, but it does seem like the EDO that Micron allegedly wants to bring back isn't the same EDO DRAM that most of us think about. Tenchusatsu

Carl, But if you combine DRAM chips with logic chips into the same multichip package, you could get the efficiency of both worlds. If the cost of pins were sufficiently low, that would bring back EDO interfaces, and it would provide for very high performance products. Isn't what you are describing here the kind of multichip unit that's been used in DSP's, routers, hubs, RAID controllers, and all kinds of switches for quite some time? Or am I flying in the wrong direction? I think TI, Dallas Semi, Hitachi, Motorola have been players in different portions of this market. The bigger Fabs seem to be getting their feet wet - if not going for it whole hog like Fujtisu and Hitachi now. I wonder if a successful INTC suit against Broadcom would initiate hostilities on a "Second Front" in this Rambus War in view of the announced interest of RMBS in this sector. And can anyone describe for me what those "OC-XXX" (e.g., OC-48; OC-192; OC-XXX) products being announced actually "do"? Are they simply a form of high speed network hub? 0\|0
