Milo,

<The DDR speed boosters are considered interim upgrades and ultimately will be succeeded by DDR-2, the next big memory architectural change, which is expected sometime in 2003. >

Architecural and cost considerations will probably push 64/128-bit DDR interfaces onto the processor - an interim step to embedded memories. Rest of the northbridge and southbridge functionality can be integrated into one chip and connected to the processor with something like LDT.

Milo,

Thanks for the DDR article. Rambus is dead. What an embarrassment for Intel. Since we must assume that Intel is capable of doing a proper assessment of various memory technologies, the clearly superior DDR roadmap over Rambus unveils the true reason Intel tried to shove Rambus down the industry's throat. Shame on you Intel.

Pravin.
