Kentron Technologies Announces 'Quad Band Memory' Technology, Doubling Bandwidth of the Fastest Memory Chips.Business/Technology Editors WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 28, 2000 Kentron Technologies, a leader in next generation memory architectures today announced its Quad Band Memory (QBMtm) Technology that is designed to generate double the bandwidth of the fastest Double Data Rate (DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory ) memory chip. While DDR will generate up to 2.1GB/sec bandwidth, and Rambus is expected to generate 1.6GB/sec, Kentron's QBM QBM Quad Band Memory (type of DDR RAM) QBM Quality Belt Maintenance Ltd. QBM Qualitative Business Methods QBM Queue-Based Marking QBM Query by Model technology will permit DDR to generate over 4.2GB/sec, providing significant performance advantages to computing hardware. The new memory architecture speeds up the performance of processors used in Network Servers, Routers, Telecommunications hardware as well as Internet hardware. The QBM technology may also be applied to wireless and portable applications. Due to the overwhelming growth in data sent over the Internet, computer hardware manufacturers have been looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. new ways to create faster, more powerful solutions for worldwide communications and E-commerce. Kentron Technologies has focused on memory solutions to address the growing requirements of the Internet infrastructure. Quad Band Memory (QBM) is based on the DDR chip technology being endorsed by the largest computer manufacturers and memory chip manufacturers including IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , Samsung, Micron, Infineon, NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. , Hyundai, Hitachi, and Mitsubishi, as well as Intel and Microsoft's new X-BOX X-BOX Microsoft console game system . The semiconductor engineering standardization body (JEDEC The division of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) that deals with semiconductor standards (officially, the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association of EIA). JEDEC was formed in 1958 when the Joint Electron Tube Engineering Council (JETEC) split into two Joint Electron Device ) has also endorsed DDR chip technology as the next industry standard. "While rival technologies are battling to win the war of next generation memory, Kentron's QBM provides twice the bandwidth of the fastest DDR chip at the same cost curve," stated Robert Goodman, Chief Executive Officer at Kentron Technologies. "While DDR provides twice as much data at the same clock speed, QBM provides four times as much data at the same clock speed," added Goodman.
