Rambus promises faster memory technology

Rambus has souped up its memory technology to let memory chips talk to graphics processors much more quickly than they do today. The technology should lead to better pictures from games consoles and high-end PCs, the company said Thursday.

Rambus designs interfaces that link memory chips to processors. The interfaces attach to DRAM (dynamic RAM) chips, the workhorse memory-type for PCs, servers and game machines. In general, the faster the memory, the better a system works.

Memory that runs five times faster than current GDDR3 sounds good to me. Check out the story at PC World.
