Yo_"Bussers"................MORE SEA GULL FUDD from the Intel thread: Message 11914748 To: Duke of URL (92335 ) From: Dan3 Saturday, Nov 13 1999 12:31PM ET Reply # of 92399 Intel to Support DDR for Itanium Nov 12, 1999 --- Intel may have decided to use double data rate (DDR) DRAM with the Itanium (formerly called Merced) microprocessor, sources say, after an apparent butting of heads with Hewlett-Packard Co., its development partner, over the issue. HP made a decision not use the Itanium architecture, the first in Intel's IA-64 family of 64-bit processors, when it discovered Intel was going to tie Itanium with direct Rambus DRAM (RDRAM) technology, the sources said. Not wanting to lose one of the larger server vendors, Intel is believed to be appeasing HP by endorsing DDR for servers and as the primary platform for the Itanium processor. Intel would neither confirm nor deny speculation that the company would advocate use of DDR, though the microprocessor giant did confirm that it plans on using SDRAM for the first iteration of Itanium processors, an Intel spokeswoman said. Stay tuned for Peter Brown's full report Monday at www.electronicnews.com electronicnews.com ================================================== Guess HP is pretty adamant that no PC at all is better than a PC with rambus. Dan WHAT SOURCES Anyone want to speculate the SOURCE? I'll bet you it was HEWLETT PACKARDS CEO-- the world is coming to an end next THURSDAY - you can believe that, because I heard it from the same sources that Dan3 and Electronic News use.
