Documents Collected in the press: EETimes: New rules needed to prevent 'gaming' of industry specsProposed by: JEDEC WASHINGTON New rules that would prevent technology companies from "gaming" the standards process are needed in the aftermath of antitrust lawsuits against Rambus Inc. over its patents and memory standards, industry and legal experts said. Micron rolls out GDDR3 SDRAM for graphics applications Proposed by: Youri Pepplinkhuizen Micron Technology Inc. Wednesday said it has delivered what it claimed are the industry's first samples of the next-generation GDDR3 SDRAM for graphics applications. JEDEC to cast vote to adapt DDR400 SDRAM for servers Proposed by: Youri Pepplinkhuizen The JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, Arlington, Va., is expected to vote on an addition to the DDR400 SDRAM standard that would adapt the memory chip for use in servers. Closer Look: Array of chip options could confuse WLAN market Proposed by: Youri Pepplinkhuizen The mushrooming Wi-FI wireless LAN market may end up with a potpourri of different chip solutions to meet the various IEEE 802.11 standards. Intel, AMD propose smart memory modules at JEDEC Proposed by: Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. are making separate proposals for a smart memory module that could pave the way for a new interconnect structure inside future PCs and servers. Standards body begins to advance DDR2 SDRAM Proposed by: Youri Pepplinkhuizen Drafts specs to replace module, extend memory speeds to 800Mbits/s Demise of mini-PCI wireless LAN card expected Proposed by: Youri Pepplinkhuizen SAN JOSE -- The current mini-PCI wireless LAN card would be replaced by several new potential industry standards now being drafted, the JEDEX Conference here was told last week. Closer Look: Intel becomes a mover and shaker in DRAMs once again Proposed by: Youri Pepplinkhuizen Intel Corp. may have gotten burned with its attempt to dictate Rambus as the industry memory standard, but the company is once again in the thick of things when it comes to DDR. Memory consortium fades away Proposed by: Youri Pepplinkhuizen Three years ago, Intel and the major memory manufacturers formed a group to hammer out future memory standards. Today, theres just about nothing left of it. DDR2 expected to be late for the party Proposed by: Youri Pepplinkhuizen Mass production of DDR2 SDRAM for computers will develop in 2005, a year later than originally forecast, according to analysts and chipmakers at last week's Platform Conference held here. Graphics memory headed for a split Proposed by: Youri Pepplinkhuizen The market for next-generation DRAM in graphics applications is dividing into two camps, with Nvidia Corp. championing a version known as GDDR-II and rival ATI Technologies Inc. backing a follow-on architecture known as GDDR-III. Closer Look: Intel changes its mind on DDR400 Proposed by: Youri Pepplinkhuizen Intel Corp. apparently has reversed itself on memory once again and next year will introduce a chipset supporting DDR400. Not unexpectedly, once Intel embraced DDR400 in the DDR-I format, the JEDEC Information Technology Association changed its tune also TI IS THE FIRST SUPPLIER WITH LOGIC REGISTER COMPONENTS FOR EVALUATION IN DDR-II DIMM DESIGNS Proposed by: Stephen M. Nolan / Texas Instruments DALLAS (September 25, 2002) -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) has made available the industry's first DDR-II logic register, the SN74SSTU32864, for evaluation in DDR-II memory module applications. JEDEC Beijing Oct .2002: Micron demos DDR-II platform for OEM development Proposed by: JEDEC Staff EET Article October 23, 2002 (9:07 a.m. EST) BEIJING--Micron Technology Inc. here on Tuesday demonstrated a server platform, based on the 533-MHz version of the emerging double-data-rate-II (DDR-II) memory standard. Closer Look: Time for a networking DRAM standard? / October 02, 2002 - EBN /Jack Robertson Proposed by: JEDEC Staff Here's an idea for getting less expensive specialty networking DRAMs: create a JEDEC standard for them. Networking DRAMs are now a standoff between proprietary camps. There is Fast Cycle RAM of Fujitsu Ltd. and Toshiba Corp. and the associated Network DR AMD has DDR400 all to itself, but price, standards issues will limit use Proposed by: JEDEC EBNEWS - Jack Roberston -Sept 27-2002 It appears that Advanced Micro Devices Inc. will be the sole beneficiary of the first chipsets to support high-speed DDR400 PC memory. Intel Corp. and third-party vendors said they have no plans-at least for now-to Elpida Memory samples 512Mbit DDR-II Proposed by: JEDEC EBNEWS - Jack Roberston - 07-01-02 - Elpida Memory Inc. became the second memory chipmaker to start shipping samples of 512-megabit density, 533-Mbits/sec DDR-II samples to key accounts. Samsung Electronics Co. in May said it was sampling the next-generat AMD has DDR400 all to itself for now Proposed by: JEDEC EBNEWS - Jack Roberston - 10-01-02 - It appears that Advanced Micro Devices Inc. will be the sole beneficiary of the first chipsets to support high-speed DDR400 PC memory. Elpida tips 1-Gbyte DDR SDRAM DIMMs Proposed by: JEDEC September 09, 2002 - Electronic Engineering Times Elpida Memory (USA) Inc. is offering 1-Gbyte unbuffered double-data-rate SDRAM dual in-line memory modules for high-performance PC and workstation applications. Global Communication Devices Joins JEDEC Proposed by: GCD now sits on JEDECs JC-61 Committee, or the Wireless Interface Networking Group (WING), Appeals court hears Rambus-Infineon case Proposed by: JEDEC EBN Arlticle (06/03/02, 03:18 PM EST) by Jack Robertson Pending Rambus ruling may color other cases Proposed by: JEDEC EBN Arlticle (06/07/02, 03:18 PM EST) by Jack Robertson Graphics card makers may embrace new DDR-II Proposed by: JEDEC EBN Arlticle (09/06/02, 03:44 PM EST) by Jack Robertson Dc/dc device meets specs for use with DDR memory Proposed by: JEDEC June 27, 2002 (11:07 p.m. EST) DRAMs under gun in antitrust probe Proposed by: JEDEC EETimes - July 1, 2002 (5:51 p.m. EST) Jedec begins work on third DDR DRAM standard Proposed by: JEDEC EETimes - July 1, 2002 (5:51 p.m. EST) Intel keeping its options open on DDR400 Proposed by: JEDEC by Jack Robertson in EBNEWS |
