Today's News and Rumors June 4 - More video chip set manufacturer's are sampling double data rate (DDR) DRAM, which could lead to main memory use in PCsper Techweb. Large memory manufacturers (Samsung, Micron and Hitachi) are shipping samples of DDR DRAM to video chipset manufacturers for potential use in the new flock of video cards coming out this Fall. As its cheaper to manufacture than Rambus D-RDRAM, and has almost the same performance, memory manufactures are hoping wide adoption of DDR DRAM in the graphics card market will lead to greater use as main memory in the desktop market. < This would put DDR DRAM in direct competition with Rambus D-RDAM. > Please see our article, 1999 Hardware Predictions for more information on DDR DRAM and Rambus D-RDRAM. June 4 - Taiwan motherboard manufacturers are rallying around PC133 SDRAM standard at Computex trade show per PCWorld. Almost all Taiwanese motherboard manufacturers are displaying motherboards with the new Via Apollo Pro 133 chipset that allows use of PC133 SDRAM. More interesting is the fact that the new Via chipset is made for motherboards that use Celeron and Pentium III processors. Conspicuously absent were any motherboards using Intel backed Rambus D-RDRAM which we will see in motherboards this Fall when Intel releases their Camino 820 chipset. Motherboards and new computers using Via's new chipset will also be available this Fall. Company representatives from one Taiwanese firm stated that they expect PC133 SDRAM to out sell Rambus D-RDRAM this year and next. < It looks like we will have a real choice this Fall between the two types of memory. Please see our related story below for more information on PC133 and Rambus D-RDRAM. infohq.com
