He’s just waiting for a refresh.

Or he didn't get refreshed in time. I knew this joke would be here.

Was RDRAM a nod to Dennard or pure coincidence?

RDRAM == Rambus DRAM as far as I know. It's a trademark or some such.

Yes, that's the official name. I'm asking if it intentionally or coincidentally coincides with Robert Dennard's initials.
