Rambus has unveiled an architectural breakthrough by applying micro-threading to DRAM cores. This breakthrough could mean up to four times greater performance in 3D graphics heavy applications such as games. Micro-threading increases memory efficiency and will allow for richer visuals.

“By applying micro-threading to a DRAM core, we are continuing our tradition of innovation by designing and developing advanced technologies to improve the bandwidth between DRAMs and their associated memory controllers,” said Laura Stark, vice president of Platform Solutions at Rambus. “We look forward to working with our various DRAM partners to bring this exciting new technology to the market in high-volume applications.”
