Hyundai heeft bekend gemaakt dat het maandelijkse 1,5 miljoen DDR SDRAM chippies aan nVidia gaat leveren, alwaar deze in de GeForce en Quadro DDR kaarten verwerkt zullen worden:
The world\'s largest dynamic random access memory (DRAM) maker Hyundai Electronics Industries Co said on Monday it has agreed to supply one million double data rate (DDR) synchronous DRAM chips to U.S.-based NVIDIA Corp (NasdaqNM:NVDA - news) this year.``The first deliveries of DDR SDRAMs are being shipped to NVIDIA Corporation and will be used to support their industry-leading high performance graphics processors,\'\' Hyundai said in a statement.
[...] Hyundai said it expected to reach an additional deal next year with the Santa Clara, California-based graphics processor developer to supply 1.5 million units of the chips per month.
The company said it expects its global sales of DDR synchronous DRAMs to reach some $800 million next year, accounting for about 30 percent of a world market seen at about $2.7 billion.
Hopelijk zien we nu ook snel DDR kaarten in de Pricewatch oppoppen. Hoewel nVidia volgens mij niet zoveel van doen heeft met de feitelijke produktie van de kaarten (dat doen Creative, Asus enz. zelf?) moeten die 1,5 miljoen chips per maand toch ergens heen gaan?
