No DDR support from INTC - by PTNEWELL Re: LINK for MTH failure RDRAM ONLY for by: ptnewell 9/29/00 5:24 pm Msg: 166129 of 166163 Guys: Intel has announced no plans for a DDR chipset for the Pentium 4, at least at the desktop level. This is a fantasy propagated by McComas and other members of Team DDR. The Brookdale chipset for the Pentium 4 will use PC133. It will come out in the second half of next year. Given the deep troubles AMD and VIA could be in within Intel support of DDR, it would not be logical for Intel to help them out by making DDR a standard product, instead of an expensive product. Whoever goes first on DDR will incur heavy costs. It is impossible to introduce a radically new memory and not have it expensive, at least initially. No, scrapping the MTH (or the memory control hub) does not mean that the PC133 SDRAM Brookdale chipset for the Pentium 4 is now scrapped. If you have two completely different chipsets you can use two different memories. The Williamette chipset will support RDRAM plus the Pentium 4. The Brookdale chipset will support PC133 plus the Pentium 4. Intel, like other rational thinkers, still has severe doubts whether DDR is even practical in a desktop, and they certainly have not announced any DDR desktop product.
