Samsung starts making 1GB DDR II modules

Based on 512Mbit chips

By Staff at the Newsdesk: Monday 24 March 2003, 12:57

THE NEXT BIG THING in memory is with us. Sort of. Samsung has announced it has begun mass production of 1GB DDR II DIMMs, a definite industry first.
The new memory modules are put together using 512Mbit chips. According to Samsung, the 1.8v chips have a 4bit pre-fetch and are capable of delivering 533Mbps. The company claims that the performance can be extended to 667Mbps for 'special system environments' but does not detail what those are.

The company has said that engineering samples of DDR II have been with chipset manufacturers since May last year but there has been no sign of DDR II chipsets reaching customers so far. Though it seems fair to assume that Samsung wouldn't have gone into mass production if those chipsets weren't about to hit the market and we do know that all of the major chipset makers have DDR II plans.

According to Samsung, the new chips and modules are Jedec compliant.
