This is a little old (post-Comdex), but it hasn't been posted. Rambus makes run at SDRAM with modules. (Comdex, Nov 1998)(Company Business and Marketing) Government Computer News, Nov 23, 1998 p47(1) Full Text LAS VEGAS--At the Comdex trade show, an official of Rambus Inc. of Mountain View, Calif., predicted the high-speed Rambus memory interface will eclipse synchronous dynamic RAM by 2000. Julia A. Cates, Rambus' product marketing manager, said about 500 64M Rambus modules have gone to Dell Computer Corp. for evaluation and prototyping. Each module consists of 16 64M error-correcting chips made by LG Semicon America Inc. of San Jose, Calif., on a circuit board from Kingston Technology Co. of Fountain Valley, Calif. On the bus By March of next year, 128M Rambus modules will be in production, Cates said. Rambus has licensed its technology to several chip and module manufacturers. Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. of Sunnyvale, Calif., both have announced plans to incorporate Rambus into their next-generation memory controller chip sets and motherboards. Rambus modules, also called RIMMs, have the same form factor as double in-line memory modules. Cates said future 400-MHz PC buses could exploit Rambus to reach memory throughput of 1.6G per second.
