Dan, <they have tested it before making several hundred thousand parts.>
Very true. Also note that Micron is talking
about fine details of signal integrity:
"package noise and buffer noise, asymmetrical data eyes".
This assumes that they are doing their job and
actually see signals. Meanwhile those "bright
young men" at intel are using 2.5GHz probe with
1.5GHz oscilloscope and are very proud to see
nice data eyes with signal edges of 300-400ps,
WHICH EXACTLY EQUALS TO THE BANDWIDTH OF THEIR
INSTRUMENT! Arrogant and semi-educated morons,
no other words. I guess they are full speed
on tItanic to their iceberg destination...:)
Way to go, Intel!

Danny3Peat - Re: "Yes, but Micron has come up with this clever approach for DDR where they have tested it before making several hundred thousand parts. They will next correct the problem, THEN start volume production"

Careful - Micron has found a lot of FIRST ORDER problems.

Once those get fixed, finding second and third order problems will not be a an easy row to hoe.

Just wait.
