"Rambus license partners unwilling to do their best to make this product a success" is what I was also informed by industry insider. Some of you are not intimately involved in this industry but the Ahile's heel of this venture is the business relationship that Rambus with the backing of Intel has shoved down the throat of the DRAM vendors. As we speak the DRAM vendors are pushing all other alternatives : DDR, SLDRAM, VC SDRAM, etc. DRAM vendors can not make a profit after the royalties are paid to Rambus especially in this business environment (low memory prices). They have no incentive to make this product a success. Intel has started to realize this dilema that exists, this conflict of interest. Intel is looking for an alternative.
