"Terabyte" memory from Rambus
The company Rambus yesterday held a demonstration of its new technology and new memory, the main characteristic of which is the huge throughput capacity - 1 TB per second. According to the developers, the memory of the new sample will be an excellent solution for multiprocessor and multi-core systems designed to run demanding applications.
Rambus specialists managed to achieve such high bandwidth without increasing the memory frequency, and using the 32-X Data Rate technology, which ensures the transfer of information in a single cycle, multiple of 32. As a result, test samples (16 DRAM modules with a throughput of 16 Gbit per second operating at 500 MHz), combined into a single-chip system, showed an impressive speed of 1 Terabyte per second.
Despite yesterday's announcement, according to company experts and analysts, the new terabyte memory from Rambus will receive wide distribution only by 2011. The thing is that at the moment such speed is simply not needed by anyone. And the cost of the whole of this "system of RAM" should be transcendental. Until.
