DDR development 'scrapped'
By Mike Magee, fool, 23 May 2001 15.01 BST
AS WE HINTED several weeks ago, here, all is not well in DDR land. Now hardware
site OCWorkbench claims that Taiwanese mobo makers including Asus, Gigabyte and
MSI are stopping work on DDR mobos.
The claim is that sales of DDR boards are poor and, combined with the plummeting
prices of Pentium 4 processors, sales of Rambus/P4 systems are climbing rapidly while
DDR is in the doldrums. With PC133 SDRAM mobos now mainstream, high end DDR
boards are being squeezed out of the market, says OCW.
With DDR systems only offering a 10 per cent performance boost over standard
SDRAM, most manufacturers are now concentrating on PC133 Socket 478 mobos.
Like we said, don't flame us, flame OCWorkbench |
