“Rambus DDR5 memory interface chips including the RCD, Signal Presence Detect (SPD) Hub and Temperature Sensors are important in achieving a new level of performance for leading-edge servers. With DDR5 memory, more intelligence is built into the RDIMMs enabling over double the data rate and four times the capacity of DDR4 RDIMMs, while at the same time increasing memory and power efficiency. With over 30 years of high-performance memory experience, Rambus is renowned for its signal integrity (SI) / power integrity (PI) expertise. This expertise helps enable DDR5 memory interface chips delivering superior signal integrity for the command/address and clock signals sent from the host memory controller to the RDIMMs.

Never went away. They just been huge patent trolls.

I am not sure "patent troll" is the right term for them, because they do active research and they actually sell and develop new and cool things. Overly protectionary, certainly predatory, and definitely dicks, but not a troll, Bodak perhaps?

But Rambus hasn't been involved in any major disputes for nearly a decade, and they have completely changed up their licensing model in that time along with their leadership teams. You can't really compare their current state to that 10 years ago, and the last time I checked they were the only company really doing any work with high-speed interconnect development for integrated circuits.

Doesn't matter if they do R&D, they are still patent troll dicks.

Rambus joined JEDEC in the early 90s, and were actively drafting patents in secret based on technology currently being discussed in JEDEC (SDR and DDR), and then left JEDEC because they didn't want to share their existing patents (which is a requirement of JEDEC membership.) They then filed patents based on the information being discussed at JEDEC and claimed they owned SDR and DDR technology from technology they stole from other companies. They then spent 15+ years suing everyone from computer to memory manufacturers, and even suing their own memory fabs to extract hundreds of millions of dollars in royalty payments for stolen technology.

Rambus is a bottom feeding slimeball of a company that just needs to die. Too bad the memory industry wasn't successful in crushing them back in the early 2000s.

If Rambus has anything to do with DDR5, it explains why it's so damned expensive.
