Tenchusatsu: Your the right guy to comment on Micron DDR benchmark speed. 514 MB per second doesn't seem like what we were told to expect from DDR. I think RDRAM has those beat already. john biz.yahoo.com Micron Technology DDR SDRAM Platform Shows Significant Advantages in System-Level Performance Benchmark Testing BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 1999--Micron Technology, Inc. (NYSE:MU - news), today announced that its internally developed DDR demonstration platform has shown significant advantages in performance benchmark testing over other high-bandwidth solutions. These tests confirm that DDR SDRAM delivers the high-bandwidth, low-latency performance needed to keep pace with advanced microprocessors and graphics subsystems. PC266 DDR SDRAMs function at data rates of 266Mbps and provide system-level bandwidth of 2.1GB per second (PC2100). Micron's platform, using PC2100 DIMMs, achieved industry-leading scores in multiple benchmark tests. For example, the DDR SDRAM platform demonstrated strong performance results in two key industry tests, the StreamD benchmark and Intel's Platform Bandwidth testing. In StreamD benchmark testing, the DDR SDRAM platform achieved an average CPU to DRAM throughput of 514MB per second. In Intel's Platform Bandwidth testing, the DDR SDRAM platform (using a Diamond Multimedia Viper 770 Ultra TNT2 AGP video card) also achieved a high score of over 46 frames per second in DRAM to AGP bandwidth. With the DRAM market segmenting and DRAM technology becoming increasingly complex, Micron has begun focusing on ways to help its customers implement new high-performance DRAM products. ``Our Integrated Products Group developed the DDR SDRAM platform as a reference design that our customers could use in designing DDR systems,' said Jeff Mailloux, Micron's Director of DRAM Marketing. ``In testing this product, we have demonstrated very strong system-level performance, validating DDR SDRAM as an ideal solution for multiple PC segments.' Micron Technology, Inc., and its subsidiaries manufacture and market DRAMs, very fast SRAMs, Flash, as well as other semiconductor components, memory modules, graphics accelerators and personal computer systems. Micron's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol MU. To learn more about Micron Technology, Inc., visit its web site at www.micron.com.
