Media Alert – Rambus to Demonstrate High-speed Memory Technologies and Architectures at DATE 2008

LOS ALTOS, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES – 03/10/2008

Who: Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq: RMBS)
Where: DATE 2008
Booth # A18
ICM
Munich, Germany
When: March 11-13, 2008

 

Join Rambus at DATE 2008, the European event for electronic system design and test, for demos and displays of our latest technology developments.

Rambus Demos and Displays

    • The Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative, featuring new memory signaling innovations that facilitate data rates of 16Gbps and a future memory architecture that can deliver an unprecedented terabyte per second (TB/s) of memory bandwidth (1 terabyte = 1,024 gigabytes) to a single System-on-Chip (SoC). Innovations include the industry’s first differential signaling for both data and command/address (C/A); FlexLink™ C/A, the industry’s first full-speed, point-to-point C/A link; and 32X Data Rate technology (32 data bits per input clock cycle).

 

    • A multi-Gbps low-power signaling demonstration with a test transceiver dissipating only 14 mW, resulting in a power/performance metric of 2.2 mW/Gbps, a power reduction by a factor greater than three times (3x) that of traditional serial links.

 

    • The award-winning XDR™ memory architecture, a differential memory system solution, operating at 5.6Gbps with FlexPhase™ circuit technology calibration and Octal Data Rate (ODR) read/write operation.

 

    • A low-cost XDR system solution implemented on a 2-layer printed circuit board.

 

    • A DDR3 memory controller interface signaling demonstration at 1066Mbps.

 

    • A Texas Instruments® DLP® open demo board featuring XDR technology. In this application, the Rambus XDR memory interface operates at 4.0Gbps and brings unparalleled memory performance to the TI DLP processor.

 

  • A PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) open demo board featuring XDR technology. The Rambus XDR memory interface and FlexIO™ processor bus enable an unprecedented aggregate bandwidth of over 90 gigabyte-per-second between the Cell Broadband Engine™ and supporting chips at the heart of the PS3.
