Bert McComas (schreef ooit een een paar diepe geheugen artikelen voor ome Tom) van InQuest Market Research heeft een DDR vs Rambus performance comparison in elkaar geknutseld. Volgens zijn analyse is DDR onder alle omstandigheden sneller dan Rambus:
The 10-30% performance advantage for DDR over Rambus demonstrated in the benchmark scores above are truly astounding. This performance advantage will immediately be appreciated in server platforms, in high-end graphics and in other high performance systems.Even the low end PC may stand to benefit very soon from DDR technology as UMA (shared memory) platforms appear in the year 2000. Indeed, DDR may be the catalyst that enables UMA to grow from the bottom of the market to the mainstream beginning in the second half of 2000.
Regardless of the application or target platform, the single key element in the DRAM performance equation is to deliver superior memory performance without adding significantly to system cost. DDR may be the technology to deliver this combination to the mainstream.
