Micron maakt bekend dat het begonnen is met het samplen van 150 en 166MHz DDR SDRAMs. De chips worden geproduceerd op een 0,18micron procédé en zullen vergelijkbaar geprijst zijn als 2Mb x 32 SDRAMs. 183 en 200MHz versies mogen we in het derde kwartaal verwachten:
The 2 Meg x 32 DDR SDRAM will be available in 183MHz and 200MHz speed grades in the third quarter of 2000. ``Providing our graphics and telecom customers with these ever faster parts provides them with a smooth upgrade path,'' stated Welch. ``We expect demand for the 1 Meg x 16 SDRAM and 2 Meg x 32 SDRAM to remain strong through 2000, with demand shifting to the DDR devices in the second half. As always, our goal is to match our product offering with our customers changing needs.''Offered in a standard 100-pin TQFP packages, samples of 150MHz 2 Meg x 32 DDR SDRAMs (MT46V2M32LG-65) and 166MHz 2 Meg x 32 DDR SDRAMs (MT46V2M32LG-6) are now available in sample quantities. Pricing will be comparable to 2 Meg x 32 SDRAMs. Both parts are expected to be available in production volumes in the second calendar quarter of 2000, and 4 Meg x 16 DDR SDRAM devices will be available in the third calendar quarter.
