AMD Adopt DDR500 Officially

[Crazy Inside]

"Up until today, DDR400 has been the official memory standard for majority of the platforms, but Intel made the change to DDR2, and now it's AMD's turn to make a change to their platform. According to an insider source, AMD has plans to adopt DDR500 as its official memory standard in the very near future.

Before making the switch to other memory standards, the chipmaker has decided to extend support for DDR even further. The source said AMD would most likely support DDR500 with its Venice core microprocessors.

According to the information we received, AMD was in talks with memory makers to make this idea a reality since last year. In fact, the chipmaker was conversing about supporting low-latency DDR500 modules, as they tend to work best with AMD microprocessors and their onboard memory controller.

The insider said support for 250-memory divider is already available in numerous BIOS files, but it's a matter of time before motherboard makers enable that feature. Since MSI supplies sample boards to AMD, all of their boards have the up-clock memory ratios that they can enable.

Thus far, that's the only information we have received. All in all, AMD will continue to support DDR and may even move up to DDR500 as its official memory standard."

Desculpa mas isso de oficial n tem nada.
Já se fala a muito tempo disso mas, uma x que DDR500 n existe para a Jedec vai ser difícil.
Mas era uma boa notícia de acontecesse, embora n seja no Venice.
Ou seja no máximo de aki a uns 6meses. Como no próximo ano vai aparecer com DDR2 n me parece nada mais k hype.

Não me admirava nada k saisse no Venice, se forem metade dos clockers k se fala bem k precisam dakeles 250 de FSB... (O meu Winnie 3000+ ja' vai nos 300 de FSB...)

Já tava na altura de sair DDR2 @ AMD, não?

Isto é mais uma manobra de marketing, o "pc joe" olha para a DDR2 533 e julga que é muito melhor que a DDR 400, pois é um nº maior...
Os meus módulos não são nenhuns topo de gama mas já vêm de fábrica garantidos a DDR 400/DDR 533, há outros já bem acima do DDR 600, é só para tornar oficial e diminuir a percepção errada que as pessoas possam ter da já "velhinha" DDR 400.
