I know this has been posted, but please read the last paragraph....Does this mean its technology would compete with RDRAM or help to improve the current RDRAM design??

TIA!

Former Micron president joins IP startup

AUSTIN, Texas — Interactive Silicon Inc. (ISI) today said it has appointed a former vice chairman and president of Micron Technology Inc. as its new chief executive officer.

Jim Garrett now heads up the year-old semiconductor intellectual property (IP) startup, which aims to create new data transfer design cores and technologies for consumer electronics, PCs, digital TVs and other systems. "The arrival of Jim Garrett confirms our belief that there is significant potential benefit in our technology for semiconductor companies focused on improving performance by minimizing the amount of data transfer," said Tom Dye, founder, president and chief technology officer of ISI (Austin, Texas). "Our technology is especially applicable to the PC, Internet appliance, set-top box and digital television market segments."

Garrett became president of Micron Technology (Boise, Idaho) in 1992 after serving as vice chairman from 1990. He had joined Micron in 1985 as vice president of sales and marketing and was responsible for the creation and management of several business units at the company during the late 1980s.

"I look forward to guiding [ISI] as it endeavors to create the standard for high performance data transfer," Garrett said. "This technology not only improves D-RDRAM [Direct Rambus DRAM] but synchronous DRAM [SDRAM], EDRAM [embedded DRAM], DDR SDRAM [dual-data-rate SDRAM] and other types of memory such as flash as well."
