Rambus DRAM of Mountain View, CA. RDRAM is used mainly for {video accelerators}, and also in the {Ultra 64} from {Nintendo}. It offers sustained {transfer rates} of around 1000 Mbps, compared to 200 Mbps for ordinary DRAM. Although it cannot be used as a direct replacement for existing memory, it is likely that it will replace DRAM and {SDRAM} as the main memory system in {personal computers} as the {bus} speeds required by these machines increase. SDRAM can operate up to around 100MHz, but RDRAM has been demonstrated by the manufacturers running at 600MHz. The memory is also only 8 or 9 {bit}s wide, so the bandwidth would increase enormously if it were used in parallel to give 32 or 64-bit memory. (1996-12-13) | |
