Intel to drop support of Rambus in new products By Jack Robertson EBN (02/26/02 17:48 p.m. EST) siliconstrategies.com Intel Corp. in the second half of this year will drop its final Direct Rambus DRAMs support in new products, it was learned Tuesday at the Intel Developers Forum. The last RDRAMs used in Xeon workstations will be replaced by new chipsets supporting double data rate (DDR memory). An Intel workstation roadmap secured by EBN showed a Placer chipset with DDR SDRAMs for dual processor Xeon workstations, and a Granite Bay DDR chipset for uniprocessor Xeon workstations. They will replace the Intel 860 workstationchipset using RDRAM and Intel 850 with RDRAM. The new Prestonia Xeon processor for servers introduced in January already uses DDR memory, supported either by Intel's own E7500 Plumas chipset or a third party vendor chipset from ServerWorks, Santa Clara, Calif. Intel's desktop and notebook lines since last year have virtually dropped RDRAM in favor of single data rate SDRAM or in January going to DDR memory as well.
