CPU makers postpone DDR3 generation to 2010
Ao que parece estamos presos aos Q9*** e aos Phenom II com DDR2
Ha uns dias vi uma noticia sobre a Gigabyte e a ASUS terem milhares de chipsets da serie 4 da Intel parados em armazém... fora as motherboards construidas e que não têm ainda dono...
A mim parece-me que a Intel e AMD poderão estar a atrasar a DDR3, apenas para ajudar esses fabricantes a escoar material...
Só o futuro o dirá...
Although both Intel and AMD were originally expected to fully transition to DDR3 across their product lines in 2009, with the two players now postponing their DDR3-only chipset schedules, the DDR3 generation is not expected to arrive until 2010, according to sources at motherboard makers.
Since DDR3 memory prices have not fallen as much as Intel expected, while demand for its Core i7 CPU and X58 chipsets also has not yet met expectations, Intel has decided to postpone its DDR3-only 5-series chipsets until September this year.
Meanwhile, AMD's is still struggling with technical difficulties to achieve stability and compatibly with the DDR3 controller built into its AM3-based CPUs, and so the company is also unlikely to transition to DDR3 until it is able to come out with a workable BIOS, added the sources.
