Toshiba revealed it has moved up the volume introduction date for Rambus Inc.'s Yellowstone memory technology from 2006 to 2005 as said it was sampling a 512-Mbit DRAM in a format based on the XDR interface developed by Rambus, which it claims has the fastest sustained data transfer of any memory.
The DRAM has a data transfer speed of 3.2-GHz (sic) with cycle times of 40 or 50 nanoseconds and latencies of 27 or 35-ns, the company said.
XDR -- formerly known as Yellowstone -- DRAMs are designed for broadband applications, including digital consumer electronics, network systems and graphic systems . "Toshiba has been playing a leadership role in realizing XDR DRAM technology," said Shozo Saito, technology executive of Toshiba Semiconductor, in a statement.
"In October 2002, we were first to license Rambus's most advanced technologies, and we have promoted their development ever since. Our efforts have borne fruit, as we are first in the world to sample XDR DRAM, and do so well ahead of our original schedule....We aim for mass production in 2005, and to secure our leading position in this business area."
