Hi all; DDR to hit 3x RDRAM system bandwidth by 1 year from now:

Hyundai, the company that has probably shipped the most DDR to date, is designing 600MHz 4Mx32 DDR, with plans for manufacturing in 1H01. Two of these chips would make a 32MByte x64 main memory with a bandwidth of 4.8GB/sec, three times that of PC800 RDRAM. The parts are undoubtedly targeted at the graphics accelerator market.
viatech.com (page 2)

They plan on shipping 400MHz parts in 2H00, and are currently processing wafers for engineering samples. Rumors abound that the new 3D graphics accelerators will move to these parts as soon as they can get them.

This shows that DDR has legs, and that the memory makers are pushing it faster than expected.

Hyundai expects to get DDR system bandwidths to 9.6GB/sec, six times faster than an i820, or three times faster than an i840 by 2001: (see page 3)

RDRAM is obsolete.

The longs will find it almost irresistible to ignore this post completely. The reason is that having RDRAM bandwidth beat by 3x in the first half of 2001 is too much for them to bear. They're married to the stock, and their blinders will turn on, and force them to talk about something else.
