jhg,

All of the professor's theories aside, we will see the performance of DDR next week.

MICRON TECHNOLOGY TO DEMONSTRATE THREE DDR SDRAM PLATFORMS AT WINHEC 2000

DDR platform achieves industry-leading performance

Boise, Idaho, April 19, 2000 - Micron Technology, Inc., today announced that it will demonstrate three internally-developed DDR SDRAM platforms at the WinHEC 2000 Trade Show, which will be held on April 24-26, 2000 at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. WinHEC 2000 is a windows hardware engineering conference sponsored by Microsoft Corp., Texas Instruments, AMD, 3Com, Cirrus Logic and Intel. Micron will be exhibiting these platforms in Booth #234 in the Exhibition Hall.

Micron will demonstrate a dual processor, single controller platform that has achieved industry-leading scores in multiple independent performance benchmark testing. For example, in a recent performance analysis done by Inquest Market Research, this platform exceeded the performance of other leading-edge systems in a majority of comparisons.

Micron will also display a dual processor, dual controller platform demonstrating DDR SDRAM memory in high-performance server and workstation applications, as well as a single processor, single controller platform targeted at desktop applications. All three platforms use Micron's Samurai memory controller with a 133MHz front side bus and 266MHz DDR SDRAM main memory.

With the DRAM market segmenting and DRAM technology becoming increasingly complex, Micron is focusing on ways to help its customers implement new high-performance DRAM products. "Our Integrated Products Group developed these DDR SDRAM platforms as reference designs that our customers can use in designing DDR systems," said Jeff Mailloux, Micron's Director of DRAM Marketing. "We believe that the strong performance capabilities of DDR SDRAM are showcased in these platforms."

Micron Technology, Inc., and its subsidiaries manufacture and market DRAMs, very fast SRAMs, Flash, as well as other semiconductor components, memory modules, 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.

jhg_in_kc, < something to chew on>
Yeah, there is a pile to chew on, but I guess Mr.Newell
from J.Hopkins University has no teeth to chew
his buy at $400:)
The quality of his arguments is too fishy. Just chewing
on this cited article:

toshiba.com

from Table 1:
PC133 Precharge time = 2.67 cycles
Ras-to-Cas delay = 2.67 cycles

What the morons they are - 2.67 clock! Where did
they get this "idea" about 0.67 clock! Apparently
they have 0.67 brains, together with the researcher
Mr.Newell who collected all this unthinkable garbage.
It is amazing what people are resorted to do to
justify their poor investment judgement.
Unfortunately, nothing will help the bad idea.

Thanks for the laugh, jhg_in_kc. It is really
the theatre of the absurd. Golden words were
spoken by you.

Re: With its cost saving lower pin count, greater effective bandwidth, lower latency, and lower power consumption (hence lower cooling costs) the future clearly belongs to RDRAM...

You know, Pat, it always just bugs the heck out of me when I buy 128meg of SDRAM for $125, knowing that I could get 4 to 6 times as much RDRAM for the same price. And all that heat generated by SDRAM - so much heat they can't even use a heat sink like RDRAM.

Are you schizophrenic too?
