Intel quietly validates 1066 RDRAM

It's a Rambusta

By Mike Magee: Friday 04 October 2002, 09:21

SLIGHTLY AHEAD of time, and with no great fanfare, Intel has validated 1066 RDRAM modules for its 850E Rambus platform.

When Intel launched its 850E enhanced chipset for Rambus earlier this year, it only supported lower speeds of the memory type.

The modules it has now validated are all from Samsung – although Elpida has said it will produce RDRAM modules as well, it is showing a reluctance to commit to doing so in any volume.

Samsung, however, has a Rambus roadmap that extends to 2007 and perhaps beyond, and even validated the memory type for some TVs it is making last week.

You can find the Intel proof of the pudding here.

The 850E remains the "performance" chipset for desktop Pentium 4s until Q1 of next year, when the two varieties of Springdale chipset oust the Rambus memory type, in favour of double data rate (DDR) memories. µ

Intel to Announce Chip Sets
Supporting Hyper-Threading

By DON CLARK
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Intel Corp., which has been keeping up a relentless pace of microprocessor introductions, is stepping up its attack in the ancillary market for products called chip sets.

The company on Monday will announce four new chip sets, the products that connect microprocessors to other elements of a computer. All of the products support a technology called hyper-threading that Intel plans to make available in desktop computers later this quarter.

Hyper-threading makes a single microprocessor chip operate in some applications as if it were two separate chips. The feature has been available in Intel chips for servers already, and will become available on desktop computers after Intel delivers a Pentium 4 chip operating at a speed of 3.06 gigahertz.

Other features of the new chip sets include faster connections to memory chips. Intel is also widening its use of its Extreme Graphics circuitry, which makes it possible to build computers without extra chips or circuit boards to handle graphics functions.
