All the AMDroids can now make fun of DDR Rebates to be given by VIA, et. al. After all - Intel's RAMBUS rebates had all you AMDroids butt-slapping yourselves silly !!! aceshardware.com Cheaper DDR SDRAMs on Horizon (HARDWARE) Posted By KH Yeap Sunday, February 25, 2001 - 11:13:43 PM Good news for DDR fans: according to Ctech Taiwan report, DDR SDRAM prices are going to drop substantially thanks to the latest initiative from VIA (chipset maker), Nanya (memory chip maker) and Apacer (memory module maker). Using a rebate scheme similar to that employed by Intel for its chipset and RDRAM, these three Taiwanese companies are joining forces to offer a US $99.00-deal on DDR Chipset + 128 MB DDR SDRAM combo . With large quantity order, the combo price will be further reduced to US $90.00. This reflects a discount of approximately 35% or about US $50.00, in comparison to the current market prices for VIA DDR chipset + DDR SDRAM when purchased seperately. Even though the rebate program only applies to motherboard OEMs, it is expected that the discount will be extended to benefit the end-users in the market. This latest attempt spearheaded by VIA should stir up more interests and will hopefully result in faster adoption in DDR technology, whose popularity has thus far been hampered by higher than expected price premium. >> Discuss this Topic on General: 1 Comments in Thread
