Chuck,

A post related to the following was already posted on this thread. This is just another flavor of the same subject ( a very brief report) - AMII accepting AMD DDR standards.

AMD DDR embraced by AMII electronicnews.com _____

Oct 13, 1999 --- Advanced Memory International, Inc. (AMII) today threw its support behind AMD's DDR chipset plans. AMD presented the plans last week at MicroDesign Resources' Microprocessor Forum.

AMII members are developing products that support both the PC1600 and PC2100 DDR SDRAM standards. These same members are also participating in the platform validation of AMD DDR chipsets. The chipsets are due for release in mid-2000.

Cost remains central to DDR SDRAM's attractiveness. The technology can deliver up to 2.1 GB/second in bandwidth while essentially using the same manufacturing technology now used in PC100 and PC133 memory.

"For this reason, the initial cost premium of this technology is minimal and will rapidly hit parity with PC100 and PC133 products," said Desi Rhoden, president of AMII.

AMD is developing DDR chipsets for the AMD Athlon processor family. Hitachi is sampling 256-Mbit DDR SDRAM devices. Infineon, Micron and Samsung all have DDR SDRAM plans with the latter two already working with AMD.

PC2100 DDR, PC1600 DDR, etc., is a new naming convention to reflect the possible peak bandwidth(in MHz) in a 64bit wide mem bus. PC2100DDR, PC1600DDR correspond to old PC266 & PC200 respectively.
