Just found another funny "DDR schedule" article from EBN (Bob Eminian quoting mid-1998 for volume DDR shipments; and EBN's reporting that DDR shipments will precede RDRAM shipments):

Samsung Eyes DDR-Based Systems Launch

Electronic Buyers' News, Jan 5, 1998 p032

Full Text

Samsung Semiconductor Inc. has announced that it has demonstrated a 133-MHz double date rate (DDR) SDRAM in a working system and has provided its PC OEMs with design support, which should enable the launch of DDR-based systems in the first half of 1998.

The announcement follows Samsung's demonstration at the fall Comdex show of a 125-MHz DDR device with a 250-MHz internal bandwidth. "We have validated DDR both at the chip level and at the system level," said Robert Eminian, director of memory marketing at Samsung, San Jose. "The performance improvements are particularly obvious when texture-rich Accelerated Graphics Port software is employed. The volume shipments of DDR in mid-1998 will be perfectly timed for the introduction of the next generation of AGP-compatible software that can take advantage of the greatly improved graphics performance."

DDR SDRAM is expected by many industry observers to be the successor to SDRAM II and will precede a shift sometime in 1999 to the Direct Rambus DRAM architecture developed by Rambus Inc., Mountain View, Calif.
