movemoor schrijft: "Intel en memoryconsorten hebben een nieuw platformpje in het leven geroepen, dat zal werken aan de specificaties van een nieuwe 'high performance DRAM architectuur'. Intel vriendje Rambus mag echter niet meedoen... en toen waren er nog 6 Dramurai":
Intel, Micron, NEC, Samsung, Hyundai and Infineon said yesterday they will work to produce a high end form of memory that will see PC platforms right from 2003 onwards.But Rambus Ink, formerly Intel's closest memory partner, and intended to provide such a platform for the future, has not been invited to the memory platform.
At a press conference in Seoul yesterday, the six companies above put out a joint press statement to "cooperatively develop a high performance DRAM technology" for 2003 and beyond.
The idea of the initiative is to produce a memory standard for architecture, electrical and physical design, together with an infrastructure needed for the technology.
Specifications will be made available to all interested parties, although no details were given as to whether licence fees will be exacted from others for the privilege of participating in the initiative.
