Two New Interfaces Selected for Logic-to-Memory and Logic-to-Logic Connectivity

LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2003--Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq:RMBS - News), the leader in ultra high-speed interface technology, today announced new agreements with Sony Corporation (Sony), Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) and Toshiba Corporation (Toshiba) for the license and utilization of two new high-speed interfaces, codenamed "Yellowstone" and "Redwood." Offering unparalleled competitive advantages, these two interfaces are expected to be utilized for future broadband applications with "Cell."

Currently at 3.2GHz data rates, with a roadmap to higher performance, "Yellowstone" is much faster than the best available DDR memories. "Yellowstone" offers high performance in memory signaling while optimizing system cost through pin-count reduction and support for high volume PCBs and packages.

Ooh, check out those specs. Very nice, IMHO. BTW if you didn't know this is a new RAMBUS that will be alot faster than DDR.
