Rambus comeback - 4.8 GHz memory
Written by John M   

 

Elpida Memory and Rambus have announced a 512Mb 4.8GHz XDR chip that delivers a data transfer rate of 9.6GB/s. Made using Elpida's 70nm process, XDR DRAM is Rambus proposed standard for next-gen platforms. Aside from consoles, we don't see anybody in the PC industry embracing this new adventure.

To achive such speeds with just a 600MHz clock, Octal Data Rate (ODR) technology is enabled. Just compare that to the double data rate conventional RAM has been using for more than six years now.

Production is expected to start on April 2008, and this time Rambus has a product that's not only fast, but one that promises to deliver bandwith accordingly.
