Matthew Witheiler van AnandTech heeft vandaag een verslag over Comdex 2000 online gezet waarin we naast de gebruikelijke zooi ook wat info kunnen vinden over en interessant reepje geheugen. In de stand van TwinMOS was namelijk een 184-pin reepje SDR geheugen aan te aanschouwen. Dit reepje geheugen gaat dus in standaard DDR slot, en is volgens AnandTech interessant voor OEM's die wel DDR planken willen gebruiken, maar nog niet het duurdere DDR geheugen:
Another curious item we saw over at the TwinMOS booth was 184-pin SDR memory. Essentially, this is SDR memory that can be used in DDR slots. We suspect that the major consumer of this type of memory will be OEM system builders who want to take advantage of upcoming DDR motherboards but do not want to shell out the premium for DDR memory. As we saw in our latest Weekly Memory and Motherboard Price Guide, 128MB of PC2100 DDR memory currently runs about $66 more than its PC133 counterpart. Although we expect this price premium to drop significantly in the near future (manufacturers are saying that it really only costs about 3-5% more to make DDR memory over SDR memory), it seems that TwinMOS' SDR solution may prove to be very attractive, as the price should be only slightly more than 168-pin SDR memory. The 184-pin SDR memory could make a great transition product for many system builders.
