You don’t need to be a real geek to appreciate what 4.3Gbps smartphone memory capacity implicates. But to give you a hint, that is the digit of the future smartphones and Rambus is dying to show us that they are now able to give that.

The new RAM technology could be the element needed for more advanced and more visual smartphones. If you enjoy touch screen today, try hologram and the likes. Dubbed as the Mobile Memory Initiative, the technology uses the same flexible clock speeds used in XDR memory found in gaming console like PlayStation 3 and appy in on low power system, like a smartphone.

That technology would allow 4.3 gigabits per second from a single chip using a minimum voltage of just 100mV, providing about five times the headroom of the 800-megabit mobile memory available today.

Without trying to sound too geeky, it only means that this technology could pave way the creation of mobile devices that need high-performance 2D or 3D performance and thus needs quick access to graphics or system RAM – a new era in smartphone or mobile gaming will perhaps be born.

Rambus didn’t disclose which manufacturers are interested in the MMI but they are giving a date by which devices will have that technology – 2010.
