Acer Laboratories, in Taipei, Taiwan, announced Tuesday that it has licensed 800-MHz memory-interface technology from Rambus. The company said this will make the higher speeds of Rambus -- 1.6 gigabytes per second of peak bandwidth from a single device -- available to more-affordable PCs.
"With Rambus memory support, the consumer PC owner will enjoy ample performance for CPU-intensive, video, and 3-D graphics programs and games," said Chin Wu, president of Acer Laboratories. "Rambus technology is a key element in our new products and will be a primary interface to DRAM
for PC main-memory controllers for 1999 and beyond."
Acer Laboratories plans to introduce a new generation of PC chip sets with Rambus memory support this year. "ALI's record of being able to quickly ramp leading-edge PC chip sets in high volume will help accelerate the proliferation of the Rambus memory throughout the entire PC market," said Dave Mooring, vice president and general manager of the PC Product Division of Rambus, in Mountain View, Calif.
