This is pretty specialist technology but interesting never the less..
Does it strike anyone else as odd that as far as memory (permenant or otherwise) is concerned going serial seems to be the next thing, but as far as everything else (cpu/gpu) is concerned, they're going parallel?
our dell vendors implied it was gonna be mandatory in xeon servers soonish - and that the FB chip consumes a LOT of extra power (~10W per stick)Originally Posted by David
exactly my thought!
i mean it might be cheaper for making motherboards, but surely it means RAM is going to be more complex, hence the power increase. Now i can understand how you could buffer things too improve channel entropy, but surely you could do that better in parrallel (granted it might cost more).
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
this sounds alot like RAMBUS, and we know where that went....
and the problem with parallel is keeping the bits in sync, thats why sata is faster than pata, SCSI is parallel, but thats why the cables can cost £50!
parallel should technically be faster, but there comes a point where the bits can no longer remain in sync at such high data rates.
