Rambus gains network RDRAM support from Elpida
Rambus Inc. picked up some network RDRAM support when Elpida Memory Inc. unveiled new 800MHz SO-RIMM modules in 64 megabyte, 128-MByte and 256-Mbyte sizes. Direct RDRAM is one of a bevy of contending memory types for the network market, including SRAM, DDR SDRAM, fast cycle RAM, and low latency SDRAM (Electronic Buyers' News)
Suppliers' support for Rambus varies
Samsung says yes. Infineon says no. Elpida says maybe. Such are the mixed messages that DRAM makers are giving on whether they will continue to deliver faster and denser versions of Rambus DRAM. The differing views among these three major DRAM suppliers raises a larger issue for those designing high-speed memory subsystems: Will RDRAM ever become a true mainstream technology, or will it be relegated to serving niche applications?

Rambus to demo 1.2GHz RDRAM
Los Altos-based Rambus said the overclocked PC would have a peak bandwidth of 4.8Gbits/sec, while running popular benchmarks to show performance and reliability. The company said its RDRAM roadmap now includes speed grades for 1066 MHz and 1.2GHz without changes to the RDRAM design or industry infrastructure. (Electronic News)
SiS licenses Rambus� direct RDRAM
The agreement now covers the latest generation of Rambus� technology, Direct RDRAM. Taipei, Taiwan-based SiS said it is now able to integrate RDRAM IP into future products for PCs, networking and communications applications. (Electronic Business)
Taiwanese chip set vendor to support Rambus DRAM
Taiwanese chip set maker Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. has unveiled plans to design a product that will support Rambus memory technology. SiS is the only third-party chip-set maker thus far to have committed to the high-performance memory, which is more costly than other DRAM memory. (EE Times)
Intel takes a liking to Rambus DRAM for network processors
At the very time Intel Corp. is readying support for double-data-rate SDRAM for its PC processors, the company has bypassed SDRAM in favor of Direct Rambus DRAM for its next-generation network processor. Though DDR and RDRAM will compete for sockets in Intel's mainstream PC platform, the Rambus architecture is proving particularly suited for the network processor the company plans to unveil in the first half of 2002.

Cisco decides not to use Rambus DRAMs
The next-generation DRAM business for networking applications is heating up--if not taking shape in the market. Cisco Systems Inc. here disclosed that it plans to use new memory technologies from Fujitsu Ltd., Infineon Technologies AG and Toshiba Corp., but not Rambus Inc. (Electronic Buyers' News)
Rambus unveils Yellowstone signaling technology
Calif.-based Rambus Inc. today announced its next-generation memory signaling technology during the Rambus Developer Forum (RDF) 2001. Code-named Yellowstone, the signaling technology offers data transfer rates of 3.2GHz, and the company's roadmap plans for the technology to double to 6.4GHz. (e-inSITE)
Samsung develops 576M Rambus DRAM
The new Rambus DRAM is measured at 0.12 micron, which is much smaller than a 256M Rambus DRAM. The 576M chip, which runs at a speed of 1,06MHz, will be used for high-functioned computers, workstations and large-scale servers as well as game machines and set-top boxes. (e-inSITE)
