Second-Gen DDR SDRAM On The Horizon

cplcap writes "This story in The Register picks up on Samsung's new DDR-II Chips, pushing DDR's speed up to 533 Mb/s and a 4.2GB/s memory bus. Prototype 512MB DIMMs are being produced, and IBM has developed a chipset to take advantage of the speed. There's a little more meat in Samsung's official press release."

  1. When will processors keep up? by gordonsch · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Na, great... With the advent of even newer RAM on the horizon, it leaves me puzzled when processor development will close the gap - DDR333 didn't perform too well with nowadays' processors. Hammer anyone?
