Mitsubishi Electric Signs Patent License Agreement With Rambus For SDRAM & DDR SDRAM Memory and Controllers


<< Mitsubishi Electric Corp. and Rambus Inc. signed a patent license agreement
for SDRAM, Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory and controllers that directly
interface with these types of memory.

The new agreement covers patents for fundamental aspects of high-speed
memory interfaces invented by Rambus, which are currently being implemented
in SDRAM, DDR SDRAM and controllers that directly interface with these types
of memory. >>

 

[Lord Evermore]

Mitsubishi makes memory? Or controllers?

 

[NFS4]

I think they make controllers..

Doesn't matter though...the law firm, Rambus Inc., is at it again :|

 

[Vegito]

They make memory, I have about 16 sticks of pc100 from them, has their diamond label.
and mitsubishi printed all over the chips

 

[Deeko]

Yuck to Rambus.

 

[Pocatello]

It's a living.

If RAMBUS itself ain't frivolous, then I've never seen the golden arches of empty calories.

BTW, I see 3-4 of those every morning.

At least the three letters &quot;D&quot;, &quot;D&quot;, and &quot;R&quot; were mentioned with some relation to the word &quot;Memory&quot; and &quot;Rambus&quot;!

Oww?please stop, the agony?LOL :Q

 

[MagnusInscitia]

That's FANNTASTIC!!!

I'll bet Intel feels like they sold their soul to Satan...and for what??

 

[ArkAoss]

wait, mitsubishi has started making rdram? i know alot about mitsubishi. and theres more to them than you think. they make integrated controls for mazak machine tools out of japan, they make the interface software, and all kinds of stuff, so i think it might be a good thing,

 

[Toolman]

Why oh why are all these memory makers knuckling under to Rambus?? Isn't anybody besides Crucial gonna stand up to them? With all the royalties they are collecting they should be able to give away Rambus for free. Meanwhile, the price of DDR RAM is gonna take longer to become cheap. What are your thots?

My thoughts are Mitsubishi is one of the worst companies in the world. I am pretty sure they caused more environmental damage last century (up until a few days ago) than any other company that existed during that period. On top of it they abuse their female and minority employees. I have yet to figure out why someone would continue working for a company if they are being abused. So it must be their stupid female and minority employees, but none the less.

It does not surprise me at all that two evil companies get along fine.

 

[soulm4tter]

ROFL, i'm guessing cuz women like abuse or they is too good to leave.

 

[soulm4tter]

correction: or the PAY is too good to leave

 

[noxipoo]

or the PAY is needed and can't be lost.
