Rambus company does not need a special introduction. There is hardly anyone in the semiconductor industry, who can tell about it a few kind words. It started with forgery of documentation and continued buying up companies and development, which gives it a base in the patent war on many fronts.
New Initiative Rambus directly affect users. The company offers manufacturers of processors to sell solutions with a limited set of features, but then for the money remotely unlock certain functions. This so-called service Feature as a Service (FaaS) or expanding upon request.
In the coming years, Rambus warned , semiconductor manufacturers face a termination of Moore's Law, which means that a relatively simple means to profit from the production - reducing the rate of production and increasing the density of the chips - will not work. So why not start earning on activation of processors functions? For example, Intel company in 2010 began selling Pentium processors with an option to increase the clock frequency for an additional charge. Related Products :
