Rambus' Loki to cut down energy consumption by I/O devices
Posted By: Naveen Kumar | Feb 15 2007
While IBM revealed its breakthrough eDRAM memory technology at the International Solid State Circuits Conference, the not so popular Rambus showed its technology dubbed Loki that is aimed to cut down the energy consumed by I/O devices. The prototype is able to rum at 6.25 gigabits per second and transfers information at 2.2 milli-watts per gigabit.

Though, the market is full of other similar products, they operate at around 15 to 30 milli-watts per gigabit. And here, Loki, which is power driven by 2AA batteries seems to be a winner. Power consumption problems are being faced by most of the system makers today. Rambus is soon expected to license the technology.
