Here's where the rumor started. I think there is nothing to it. But who am I to say, not being a techie... Re: DDR by: rmbsize 05/31/01 08:24 pm EDT Msg: 292502 of 292537 Sorry guys, but I think that is ENTIRELY possible that DDR can become commercially viable.....BUT IT WOULD TAKE A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT -- SAY BY RAMBUS AND INTEL -- TO GET IT DONE. SINCE I'M NOT A TECHNICAL EXPERT, I'M GOING TO USE A "LAY-MANS" VIEW OF THE FOLLOWING PATENTS TO SAY THAT INTEL AND RAMBUS MAY BE WORKING ON SOMETHING..... LOOK FOR YOURSELF: 1. "Apparatus and method for bus timing Compensation" Issued: May 1, 2001 Assignee: Rambus INC (Mountain View, CA); Intel Corporation (Santa Clara, CA) 164.195.100.11 /search-bool.html&r=3&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=ft00&s1=Rambus.ASNM.&OS=AN/Rambus&RS=AN /Rambus ============================================== 2. "Apparatus and method for refreshing subsets of memory devices in a memory system" Issued: Jan. 23, 2001 Assignee: Rambus Inc. (Mountain View, CA); Intel Corporation (Santa Clara, CA) 164.195.100.11 /search-bool.html&r=2&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=ft00&s1=Rambus.ASNM.&s2=INTEL.ASNM.&OS= AN/Rambus+AND+AN/INTEL&RS=AN/Rambus+AND+AN/INTEL THEY'RE WORKING ON SOMETHING TOGETHER.....IF IT'S A FIX TO DDR IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME. CONSIDER HOW IRONIC IT WOULD BE TO HAVE MICRON, HYUNDAI, AND INFINEON HAVE THE PAY FOR A PATENTED FIX TO THEIR "BREAD & BUTTER". I BELIEVE THAT DDR WILL HAVE COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS -- MAYBE EVEN IN THE P4 -- BUT I ALSO BELEIVE THAT EVENTUALLY RAMBUS WILL BE PAID FOR ANY DDR SOLUTION TO BECOME A REALITY. " IZE "
