Rambus Designing PC Chip Interconnect

MarkRH writes "Although the issue of Sony licensing the Rambus Yellowstone technology for future (PlayStation) products has already been covered, I would humbly submit that the company's new "Redwood" chip-to-chip interconnect is equally important. Rambus seems to want PC designers to adopt this as an alternative to PCI Express and HyperTransport, although who would license this is a puzzling question."

Are they relevant anymore?

None one should be buying anything from Rambus anymore after the stunt they pulled with their memory patent. Let 'em sink.

Given the fact that there are 4 comments (counting this one and a troll) 7 1/2 hours after the story "broke," I would agree: no, they aren't relevant anymore.

Replacing PCI

[TheCrimsonUnbeliever]

Who needs to replace PCI? - It has some limitations but on the whole it works

And with PCI64 emerging - This technology looks like it is never going to get of the ground

Some times innovation works - sometimes - No
