Xdr-dram..

[Makaveli_786]

I remember Elpedia and Sony were talking about licensing this to graphics card manufacturers but how long do you think it is before we see XDR-DRAM in PC GPU's, I imagine its less than a year now, the PS3 will probably be released in about a years time and thats when XDR-DRAM will make its debut in the PS3 so it will probably be around shortly afterwards right?

I cant wait to see a GPU running with XDR-DRAM, 1GB of 6.4GHz XDR-DRAM... just sweet!

ROFL

PS3 is supposed to come out in '05 Christmas time I'm guessing

Assuming they get XDR to work in 256bit, I have no doubt it could start replacing DDR in vid cards

[Makaveli_786]

They have got it working in 256bit, the original PS3 units were two 512bit now its four 256bit units.

cool would be pretty sweet

how come they can get such ridiculously fast 128- and 256- bit ram on video cards, but system memory is 400mhz and 64-bit?

This is where DDRII is supposed to step in because DDRI has peaked with the JEDEC speced at 400MHz.

JEDEC speced at 400mhz, but they have like pc5000 (ddr5xx)why dont they make that a standard?
and isnt ddrII still 64-bit?

[poopeyhed2]

AFAIK - JEDEC hasn't made DDR400+ a standard because attaining the marketted speed to run reliably is difficult. Yes, DDRII is 64-bit as well.

Rob posted this today about the XDR memory.
