Rambus had signed a licensing agreement with Sony and Toshiba for using its next-generation high speed Yellowstone memory interface, the company said.
Sony didn't comment on whether the new Rambus memory would be used in its next PlayStation 3 game console.
Yellowstone provides a memory data rate of 3.2-gigabits/second or 6.4-giabits/second with system data rate of 10-gigabytes/second to 100-Gbytes/second.
Rambus also announced a new interface, code-named Redwood, that said to be ten times faster than the current high-speed processor buses. The interface is to be used between multiple logic chips. Sony and Toshiba licensed the Redwood interface as well, the company said.
Rambus said Sony is expected to use Yellowstone and Redwood in its next generation broadband products using the "Cell" processor being developed jointly by Sony, Toshiba and IBM Corp.
