EETimes meldt dat de DRAM produktie van Toshiba momenteel de overgang maakt van 128Mbit naar 256Mbit chips. De nieuwe 256Mbit produktielijnen werken met een 0,175 micron procédé en produceren DDR SDRAMs, FC-RAMs en RDRAMs. De DDR chips komen beschikbaar in kloksnelheden van 125 tot 143MHz en met een CAS latency van 2 of 2,5:
Toshiba is sampling nine types of DDR SDRAM, varying by configuration, clock speed, data transfer speed and latency. Data transfer rates range from 286 Mbits/second (143 MHz) to 200 Mbits/s (125 MHz), while column-address strobe (CAS) latency is either 2 or 2.5.Backed by Intel as the next-generation PC main memory, Toshiba's RDRAMs will be offered in 800-, 711- and 600-MHz speed grades. The RDRAMs are available in both x16 and x18 configurations, with error correction. Toshiba's 256-Mbit generation RDRAMs must still be submitted to Intel for evaluation and validation, the spokesman said.
[...] Sample prices are $120 for the DDR SDRAM, $150 for RDRAM and $200 for FCRAM.
