Rambus Takes Another Shot At High-End Memory

An anonymous reader writes "Tom's Hardware is running an article about Extreme Data Rate memory (XDR DRAM for short), which was developed by Rambus and now entered mass production in Samsung's fabs. Right now, Rambus says the memory is only for high-bandwidth multimedia applications such as Sony's Cell processor, but the company ultimately hopes to push XDR into PCs and graphics cards by 2006. Time will tell if Rambus has learned from the mistakes it made with RDRAM a few years ago."
