Dilbert - Re: "Samsung may start shipping athlons this quarter" Don't count on it !!! digitimes.com 845B0-based PCs soon to hit the market in South Korea Compiled from outside sources by Hsu Chia-hui, Research Center; Christy Lee, DigiTimes.com [Monday 31 December 2001] Following the official launch of Intel’s DDR SDRAM-based chipset 845B0 (845D), South Korea’s PC makers will introduce high-end DDR computers in January, the local Electronic Times reported. Industry sources indicated that most South Korean PC makers like Samsung Electronics and TriGem Computer have already developed DDR-supporting systems. The products are expected to hit the market in mid-January at the latest. Other companies such as LG IBM, a joint venture between LG Electronics and IBM, and Hyundai Multicav are also preparing to launch DDR lines. Samsung said that it has started offering the DDR computers to its overseas OEM customers. The roll-out schedule in South Korea has been uncertain due to the recent tight supply of DDR chips. Despite the companies’ excitement over the performance of their DDR computers, most PCs sold in South Korea in the short run are still expected to be equipped with SDRAM, given that both DDR chips and the 845B0 chipsets are not as cheap as the current products. For example, the 256MB DDR modules are generally 30,000 won (about US$23) more expensive than the same-capacity SDRAM. The DDR PCs expected to show up next month are in fact not the first DDR computers seen in South Korea. In October, Jooyontech and LG Logix introduced DDR PCs using chipsets from Taiwan’s VIA Technologies.
