QDR coming soon?

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Memory module maker Kentron Technologies Inc. plans to demonstrate a way to juice up double-data-rate DRAM bandwidth using common field-effect transistor (FET) switches.

At the Platform Conference to be held in San Jose, Calif., Jan. 23 and 24, Kentron (Wilmington, Mass.) will show how its quad-band memory technology can boost DRAM memory bandwidth of 100-MHz (200-MHz effective) double-data-rate (DDR) DRAM from 1.6 gigabytes/second to 3.2 Gbytes/s. In addition, the company promises that the technology will scale for each succeeding generation of DDR DRAM.

I call first dibs on the patent! Screw Rambus. Everyone who uses it has to send me a dollar.

Don't send him anything, he'll use the money to buy Rambus and then he'll want more money from us... he's been corrupted, SHOOT HIM ! SHOOT HIM ! (this means you )

Is it just me, or does this just sound like interleaving, but done on a module?

Don't shoot! I will not buy Rambus under any circumstances.

Guns, booze, and hookers, maybe. (I'm a San Franciscan now. ) But not Rambus.

Hey! Mabye this is the memory Matrox is waiting for.

[Novdid]

Come on!!!!
The GPU Matrox is working on can´t be that fast, that it would need QDR memory to function properly. 500MHz DDR should do fine.

[Technoid]

This should be apliable to ordinary sdram or sgram making.

And i think that a board with sgram and "qdr" technolgy might be as fast and cheaper than a DDR equipped grafixcard

Not unless you guys are willing to wait another year or more for the G800 if they actually decided to use it.

Flame proof suit on.... .

Whaddya mean? That a QDR system with an SDR graphics card will beat an SDR system/DDR card combo?
