Rambus unveils 8GHz XDR 2

the Register

Rambus is pitching XDR 2 at graphics applications as the successor to today's GDDR chips. Rambus claims ownership of key components of GDDR and is currently suing five memory makers which it alleges have infringed its intellectual property rights.

The new version of XDR is available for licensing immediately, the company said, but it won't be until 2007 at the earliest before XDR 2 appears in shipping product.

XDR 1 has already been adopted by Sony for incorporation into the PlayStation 3. Samsung began shipping 256Mb XDR DRAM chips earlier this year. Memory maker Elpida has also licensed XDR. ®
