wow.. that's a pretty considerably number of 0's on that one...

Does this mean we might be seeing rambus either delaying it's new ram or perhaps making it cheaper (likely more expensive to compensate for their loss)....

I'm quite intrigued in seeing how Rambus's ram will work with the new HD7xxx series GPUS..... using the XDR2 for VRAM on video cards..... looks promising considering it's exceptionally high bandwidth and super low latencies.... looks like DDR4 may even have a hard time keeping up with it and it's not even launched yet.

WOW, I thought Rambus was consumed by Intel years ago. No idea they were still alive.

yeah they have been making a killing off of their lawsuits for years now.. and i'm just surprised they finally lost one of the big ones...
