Why are we hearing from these clowns again? Not only does trying to corner the market with their slow overpriced RAM not make them a credible authority on anything, it actually negates any talent they do have. No one should listen to Rambus on anything. Their technology is worthless and their brand is worthless.
- cwizou 5y agoIt's a long story but after suing for years the whole industry over DDR (they introduced in bad faith patented technology into the DDR process of JEDEC and patent trolled the industry since then with that), they have cross licensing agreements with everyone, including Nvidia and Samsung which I believe were the last holdouts that refused to pay (perhaps rightly so) the royalties Rambus asked. Now it's basically an IP/patent company, and they try to get attention in articles such as these (talking about the articles linked in the linked one) as they look to place more of their IP.
