Second-Gen DDR SDRAM On The Horizon

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hardware-i-wann-ahandle dept.

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. meanwhile, Rambus is hard at work by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Funny
    their dedicated staff of 60 lawyers, 80 marketers, 50 managers and 2 engineers (working double as administrators and POC's for sales) are hard at work inventing the next... greatest... fantabulous... PATENT!

    Yes siree folks, step right up and be amazed at their patenting of the ability to dynamically store linear memory through a Gated (TM) process that can be recalled on the fly and changed without requiring manual realignment or core mounting.

  2. Getting old... by Little+Dave · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hell, it makes you feel old when 512Mb is being bandied around as the standard memory size. I remember getting all excited about a 512k(!!) trapdoor expansion for my Amiga, for which I paid 100 quid for.

    Oh yeah, and this whole website was fields back then... far as the eye could see. ;)
