Rambus Designing PC Chip Interconnect

Posted by timothy on from the dog-in-the-fight dept.

MarkRH writes "Although the issue of Sony licensing the Rambus Yellowstone technology for future (PlayStation) products has already been covered, I would humbly submit that the company's new "Redwood" chip-to-chip interconnect is equally important. Rambus seems to want PC designers to adopt this as an alternative to PCI Express and HyperTransport, although who would license this is a puzzling question."

      Given the fact that there are 4 comments (counting this one and a troll) 7 1/2 hours after the story "broke," I would agree: no, they aren't relevant anymore.

    Who needs to replace PCI? - It has some limitations but on the whole it works

    And with PCI64 emerging - This technology looks like it is never going to get of the ground

    Some times innovation works - sometimes - No
