 | | However, the most famous agreement was with Intel Corporation in 1996, under which Intel became obligated to use RDRAM as the primary memory technology for all Intel platforms until 2002. | | | In January 2005, Rambus filed four more lawsuits against memory chip makers Hynix Semiconductor, Nanya Technology, Inotera Memories and Infineon Technology claiming that DDR 2, GDDR 2 and GDDR 3 chips contain Rambus technology. | | | 32MB of RDRAM was used in Sony's PlayStation 2 video game console, and as of 2005, Sony and Rambus have announced [1] that the PlayStation 3 will use Rambus's XDR memory and a processor bus interface from Rambus called FlexIO. |

Manufacturers that want to produce it are required to pay a royalty to Rambus Inc., whereas DDR designs are open architecture. | | | One of the challenges Rambus memory faces is that it is expensive to produce compared to SDRAM and DDR. | | | In other words, the first data item transferred in a Rambus transaction takes longer to initiate than the first data item moved in a DDR system. |
