A DRAM which adopts the high-speed interface technology - "Rambus". Its bus width is 8bits, bus clock is 600MHz to 700MHz and transfer rate is 600MB/s to 700MB/s. Originally, RDRAM is used in game machines and graphic accelerator cards. Recently, however, RDRAM will be used as the main memory of computers.
Developed by Rambus, Inc., RDRAM, or Rambus DRAM, is currently the fastest memory technology used by PCs. While today's most common SDRAM delivers data at a maximum speed of 133MHz, RDRAM currently transfers data at up to 800MHz. RDRAM is expected to be seen in 1066MHz and 1200MHz iterations in the coming months and years.
abrv. "Rambus Dynamic RAM"
Rambus Direct RAM Memory compatible with the Rambus interface. Gives very high data access rates which are needed when processing consecutive multiple high speed data streams such as those through a multi-port router.
(Rambus Dynamic RAM) Developed by Rambus, Inc. RDRAM is the combination of low-cost dynamic RAM and high-speed access.
Rambus dynamic random-access memory] A memory technology that improves the data transfer rate of the memory in a computer. It is based on the Direct Rambus Channel, a high-speed 16-bit bus running at a clock rate up to 400 MHz.

Rambus Dynamic Random Access Memory. The fastest memory on the market produced by Rambus Corporation. Typical data bandwidth of RDRAM is 800 Mb/sec as compared to SDRAM's 133 Mb/sec and DDR RAM's fastest 400 Mb/sec.
Rambus dynamic random access memory (RDRAM) is one of the main types of RAM chips used in computers.
Rambus DRAM: a type of memory (DRAM) developed by Rambus, Inc. Whereas the fastest current memory technologies used by PCs (SDRAM) can deliver data at a maximum speed of about 100 MHz, RDRAM transfers data at up to 600 MHz.
Rambus Dynamic Random Access Memory technology, or RDRAM, is a dynamic RAM chip, which transfers data 3-10 times faster than DRAM chips.
RDRAM, developed by a company called Rambus, is a new type of memory that is much faster than SDRAM (the current standard for main memory). RDRAM is also supposed to be faster than DDR SDRAM, though more expensive. Motherboards supporting the Intel P4 processor require RDRAM memory.
Proprietary Rambus designed memory, promoted by Intel. Not as fast as they hoped, and much more expensive than it should be. Avoid it for now (mid 2000) and use open standard SDRAM.
This is the Intel-backed form of memory that is competing with PC133 SDRAM. It boasts speeds up to 800 MHz for very high bandwidth, but whether or not it will be worth its high price is a tough call. RDRAM comes in RIMMs which will not fit in the BX motherboard DIMM slots.
Rambus DRAM technology is a system-wide, chip-to-chip interface design that allows data to pass through a simplified bus. Rambus uses a unique RSL (Rambus Signaling Logic) technology. Rambus is available in two flavors: RDRAM and Concurrent RDRAM. RDRAM is currently in production with Concurrent RDRAM production scheduled for late 1997. The third line extension, Direct RDRAM, is in development stages and scheduled for production in 1999. In late 1996, Rambus agreed to a development and license contract with Intel that will lead to Intel's PC chip sets supporting Rambus memory starting in 1999.
A type of memory developed by Rambus. Rambus is not compatible with motherboards that use the current standard of memory, DDR SDRAM (double-data-rate synchronous dynamic RAM). By dramatically increasing the speed at which data transfers, RDRAM is intended to improve performance in memory-intensive tasks.
Rambus Dynamic RAM. High-speed computer memory.
Rambus DRAM is a revolutionary type of DRAM that uses a 16-18 bit data path and is designed to operate with FSB speed of 800MHz, producing a burst transfer rate of 1.6 gigahertz.
(Rambus Dynamic Random-Access Memory) a high speed memory chip developed by Rambus that can function up to six times faster than Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM). see SDRAM.
A new RAM technology capable of very high-speed transfer of data (600 MHz) to/from the processor.
Rambus DRAM, a totally new DRAM architecture that has a huge ammount of memory bandwidth, however has a high latency penalty. RDRAM is best suited for processors that need high bandwidth like Pentium 4 processors
