SAN FRANCISCO -- Intel wasn't the only firm introducing new technologies here at the Intel Developer Forum. Its partners were showing off a variety of new wares as well, some of which Intel had a hand in co-developing.

Chip design firm Rambus (NASDAQ: RMBS), teamed with Kingston Technologies to develop "threaded memory module technology," which modifies how a CPU addresses conventional DDR3 SDRAM.

The coming out party for USB 3.0 here included a pavilion of vendors showing off the new high-speed data link. USB 3.0 is 10 times faster than 2.0, meaning it can reach up to five gigabits per second throughput. That's as fast as a top-of-the-line SATA drive used in high-end computers.

Absolute Software develops security software that works with Intel's vPro. The company's Geofencing technology, announced earlier this month, can monitor a computer and issue an alert if it goes outside of a certain area, which could be an area the size of a room, building or lower Manhattan.

At IDF, Absolute announced it will offer a consumer version of its Computrace LoJack for Laptops service that supports Intel's Anti-Theft technology.
