Afgelopen zondag werd bekend dat de ALi DDR Athlon chipset aankondinging vertraagd zou zijn naar begin augustus omdat er nog geen werkend silicon beschikbaar was. Dit probleem is inmiddels gefixt waardoor de chipset toch wel volgende week kan worden geshowed:
The on-again/off-again double-data-rate (DDR) chipset from Acer Laboratoies Inc. to support the Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Athlon processor is back on schedule and will be introduced next week.
Taiwan-based ALI canceled a planned launch this week at the Platform 2000 Conference in San Jose, Calif., because final silicon hadn't finished all testing. That has now been accomplished and ALI plans on July 26 to unveil the Athlon DDR chipset, which it claims is the first such chipset for notebook computers.
A bevy of chipset makers have announced desktop Athlon DDR chipsets, including AMD itself, Via Technologies, Silicon Integrated Systems, and Micron Technology.
