Hey Richard.. thought you might be interested in this story if you havent already seen it

NEC Joins QDR SRAM Development Effort

According to this link, NEC has joined Micron and Cypress in the design and manufacture of Quad Data Rate (QDR) SRAM. QDR SRAM consists of a dualbus architecture using DDR to handle simultaneous read and write activity. The first QDR SRAMs operate at 333 MHz effective (167 MHz DDR), while future versions will run at 500 MHz (250 MHz DDR). QDR SRAM is most appropriate for devices like switches and routers, where throughput is critical (many such devices need to operate at wire-speed) for data moving in both directions.

So does Rambus claim this under their ongoing royalties and patent war... and have they put forth a claim on it... or are they going to wait 10 yrs til it becomes the industry standard and THEN claim patent and royalties on it? :)
