The Register schrijft dat uit een recente Intel roadmap is gebleken dat de Colusa chipset voor Foster (Xeon versie van Willamette) voorzien zal zijn van 100MHz PC1600 DDR SDRAM support:
One slide we were shown is perfectly clear about the server market and according to our extensive handwritten notes says: "Intel has selected to support DDR in servers. The main issue with Rambus memory in servers is the maximum memory size, volume density and also "chipkill", which is not an issue in the data processing market."Further, Intel's DDR focus is on 100MHz (200MT/s) registered DDR DIMMs, and will be used in the mid range and high end four way server market -- which, by the by, seems to be the initial target for the Foster (nee Willamette) plaform.
Intel is pursuing every course possible to create six plus layer server designs with 100MHz registered DIMMs, and is also working directly with the Dramurai vendors to ensure continuity.
AMD en VIA hebben desktop chipsets met ondersteuning voor 133MHz PC2100 DDR SDRAM op de planning staan.
