RAMBUS has associated itself with Kingston, the largest manufacturer of random access memory of the world in order to present to a new memory that is supposed to be 50% faster while consuming 20% less energy. To arrive at this result, they used a technology close to that already used by the manufacturers of processors such as Intel, to work on several channels. In the case of Xeon, it can reach simultaneously access several memory cards at the same time thus increasing the band-width available.
In the case of this memory, it is possible to access two lines of memory at the same time. Besides this innovation, the chips in them same remains the standard DDR3; this makes it possible to limit the costs of this innovation… as long as the manufacturers will follow. Indeed, it will be imperative to have special memory controllers and this make it necessary to convince at least AMD and more certainly Intel to make a standard of it.
