Memory signalling innovations will enable datarates of 16Gbit/s and pave the way for a memory architecture that can deliver an unprecedented 1Tbyte/s of memory bandwidth.

Rambus has unveiled its Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative, a project that includes the development of memory signalling innovations that will facilitate blazing fast datarates of 16Gbit/s and enable a future memory architecture that can deliver an unprecedented 1Tbyte/s of memory bandwidth With the technology developed through this initiative, Rambus will dramatically increase the datarate of memory above the current world's fastest memory, the Rambus 4.8GHz XDR DRAM

"We will drive memory signalling technology to performance levels that are an order of magnitude greater than what can be achieved today", says Kevin Donnelly, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Rambus.

"Continuing the Rambus tradition of innovation, our engineers and scientists have pioneered new technologies that will enable terabyte per second memory architectures for gaming, computing and consumer electronic systems of the next decade".

Rambus' Terabyte Bandwidth Initiative includes ground-breaking innovations for a new generation of memory systems, such as: 32x datarate - 32 databits per input clock cycle; fully differential memory architecture (FDMA) - the industry's first differential signalling for both data and command/address (C/A); and FlexLink C/A - the industry's first full-speed point-to-point C/A link.
