The importance of understanding bandwidth
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-the-importance-of-understanding-bandwidth/Did you know that the terms “latency” and “bandwidth” are frequently misused? According to Loren Shalinsky, a Strategic Development Director at Rambus, latency refers to how long the CPU needs to wait before the first data is available. Meanwhile, bandwidth describes how fast additional data can be “streamed” after the first data point has arrived. […]
Memory price dip to spur DDR4 adoption
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-memory-price-dip-to-spur-ddr4-adoption/KitGuru’s Anton Shilov reports that DDR4 prices have dropped approximately 25% since late June. “According to DRAMeXchange, the world’s leading computer memory tracker, one 4Gb DDR4 chip rated to run at 2133MHz cost $3.618 on the spot market on the 28th of June 2015,” he explained. “The average price of such chip dropped to $3.302 […]
Designing lightweight cryptography for the IoE
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-designing-lightweight-cryptography-for-the-ioe/Ernest Worthman of Semiconductor Engineering recently noted that we have entered an age where technology is expected to do more, faster, anonymously, and often invisibly. “It’s supposed to use less power, with smaller footprints, unobtrusively and intuitively,” he explained. “And all that needs to be protected with cryptography.” However, as Simon Blake-Wilson, VP of products […]
