Timna was aimed at low cost desktop PCs for launch in early 2001 and was designed to be packaged with the Pentium III 820 chipset combined with Rambus Direct RAM (RDRAM) technology. To counter this setback the company added a memory translator hub...
The FOMA N2002 phones built by NEC were withdrawn from use because a software problem was causing it to lose memory. Services such as streamed and downloaded video make heavy demands on the computer memory in the handsets.
US officials have accused the memory maker Rambus of anti-competitive behaviour. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has charged Rambus with violating US antitrust laws and has also warned other DRAM memory makers about similar conduct.
Despite outperforming some processors from rival Intel early in its career, the chip still found a lukewarm acceptance in the business market, especially in the US. The machine also uses Nvidia's nForce chipset.
Intel's new 845PE chipset lets PCs use faster 333MHz double data rate synchronous dynamic RAM (DDR SDRAM). The chip giant said yesterday that the revamped chipsets will add support for faster memory, while one chipset in particular is expected to...
A new form of memory based on magnetic principles is nearly ready for mass production, offering benefits for increasingly complex mobile devices. IBM and Infineon will jointly present a paper this week that demonstrates how Magnetic Random Access...
