Mosel predicts rapid death of SDRAM Memory company Mosel Vitelic said today it has introduced 64Mb double data rate memory (DDR) and forecast that during the second half of this year, the standard will displace current PC-133 memory modules. theregister.co.uk Joe

Joe, It appears that Willy must be having problems if Intel is starting to leak info about "tulloch". Intel has a group in Austin, Texas which has been working on next generation IA-32 products. These guys are former PowerPC designers, so it remains to be seen if they can deliver anything faster than 300 MHz. Scumbria

Re: Willamette to have triflingly short shelf life... I wouldn't put too much credence in that source - Tulloch is a chipset so it cannot replace Willamette. It will replace Tehama though. Maybe the source has heard something about Tehama not getting much support from 3rd party board makers. Since Intel makes its own boards, that doesn't mean much. Regards, Dan

Joe, <Willamette is scheduled to appear towards the end of this year ... Instead, they will wait for the next generation, codenamed Tulloch, which Intel has told them will arrive in the second quarter of next year.> And in related news, Intel cancelled Merced and has replaced it with the 460GX ... Remember, only the YUK Register tells it like it is!!! Tenchusatsu

Joe, on rereading that story, old Mike Magee did seem a little confused on chipsets versus processors, but who could blame him, given the way the Intel cartographers operate these days. I found this story more amusing, though, particularly the tail end. theregister.co.uk Another hack managed to attend a DDR (double data rate seminar) held on Monday by Via. We were still winging our way over the South China Sea at the time so missed it. According to said hack, the DDR conference really opened his eyes to how the industry viewed Rambus. All, needless to say, were agin it. But that attitude was also taken by reps from Samsung, Micron and Hyundai too. With friends like this, Intel needs no enemies. In fact, Chipzilla has so few friends now, we're beginning to think it's made the transition from top dog to underdog. And, as Intel's own document on how to deal with the European press notes, the British love an underdog. © Cheers, Dan.
