Nvidia first — and perhaps only — user of DDR II

[izio75]

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Nvidia Corp. will become the first mainstream user of DDR II memory when it announces its NV30 PC graphics processor at Comdex Monday (Nov. 18). However, Intel Corp. is not expected to support the memory type for broader use in PC main memory until 2004.

"There's kind of a gap. That's why we are coming out with 400-MHz DDR-I," said Tom Quinn, vice president of marketing for Samsung Semiconductor Inc., which has DDR II parts available today.

Samsung believes the fast DDR-I parts will fill a hole between 333-MHz DDR-I that is moving into mainstream desktop PCs today and the expected shift to DDR-II.
