Rambus and Kingston Develop Threaded DDR3 Modules
Every-so-often we see Rambus pop back on the radar and this time it could be a real eye-opener. Rambus has teamed up with Kingston to develop some threaded DDR3 memory modules and their initial prototypes seem to be performing quite well! 50% more throughput with 20% less power is going to catch the attention of many in the industry!
Based on standard DDR3 chips, the new threading tech essentially creates multiple independent channels per memory module, allowing multicore processors to utilize the available RAM more efficiently. That results, says Rambus, in systems that offer 50 percent higher throughput that the standard stuff and suckle 20 percent less power due to the compartmentalization of each module. Neat. More details are promised at the Intel Developer Conference, which kicks off tomorrow in San Fran.
