The type 4800 uses RSL (RAMBUS Signaling Level) technology to achieve transfer rates exceeding 4.8GB/sec of Bandwidth. The are 32 bit, a 232 pin module and available up to 256MB (RDRAM). The architecture of RDRAMs allows the highest sustained bandwidth for multiple, simultaneous randomly addressed memory transactions.

The separate control and data buses with independent row and column control yield over 95% bus efficiency. The RDRAM's multi- banks configuration supports up to four simultaneous transactions.
