I recognize that, but my statement was about promoting, not building. Just building it isn't enough. If there's no individual or coordinated effort to promote the technology, it won't win. If there's no effort behind it to get a series of design wins, it won't win. Who, besides Micron, is actively advertising/promoting DDR? As far as I can see, it's only Micron.
What do you mean by "promote"? Everyone knows about it. Nobody is going to bribe the DRAM makers to make it, if that's what you mean. (They are making it anyway).
I'm actually looking for an announcement of a high-volume product that supports DDR.
Well, I mentioned graphics. See, it's easy to support both SDRAM and DDR in the same product, so in the future, any graphics chip that supports SDRAM will also support DDR (the new nVidia chip is an example). Some will go with Rambus, of course.
Without DDR design wins right now, at the moment that RDRAM is being introduced, RDRAM will pick up momentum -- there's no perceived competition by the market.
