You knew DRAM
,EDO,SDRAM what about DDR SDRAM, ESDRAM,
ESDRAM-DDR there is also Direct RAMBUS
Mitsubishi's
Fourth-Gen 3D-RAM :Mitsubishi unwrapped a new
video card frame buffer RAM called 3D-RAM4 that
promises a 25 percent speed increase over current
technology. The new 3D-RAM promises to support: a
single cycle read from the pixel buffer which
improves 2D graphics performance, color data
expansion which transfers the data in a new
32-bit color data register into 256 bits of data
in the DRAM array, dirty tag expansion, and write
enhancement.
- Fujitsu Hopes On DDR DRAM
:Fujitsu
is ramping up production of its first
Double-Data-Rate DRAM (DDR DRAM), which is
expected to match the performance of Intel's
Rambus-Direct/nDRAM technology, also known as
SDRAM-II.
- ESDRAM Approved By Memory
Committee: The Joint
Electron Device Engineering Council memory
committee has approved Enhanced Synchronous DRAM
(ESDRAM) as a superset of SDRAM. Colorado
Spring-based Enhanced Memory Systems won
the approval of its ESDRAM spec as well as its
Double Data Rate Enhanced SDRAM spec . EMS is
preparing to sample a lot of ESDRAM that will hit
166MHz speeds. The small company has sold
enhanced versions of DRAMS and EDO RAM for years,
but expects ESDRAM to compete with the Direct
RAMBUS technology currently backed by Intel. But
ESDRAM and DDR ESDRAM has an advantage over
RAMBUS, both are backward compatible with SDRAM
and DDR SDRAM standards approved by the JEDEC.
ESDRAM combines two 4Kbit 10ns SRAM page caches
and two 8Mbit 22ns Fast DRAM banks on one
circuit. The design is expected to greatly reduce
memory latency.
- Hitachi Announces 1GB DRAM
:Hitachi Semiconductor has
created a 1GB RAM chip by conglomerating 36 256mb
DRAM chips into a single oversized memory module.
It would increase the capacity of today's largest
chips by 400%, allowing massive cacheing of video
and 3D data.
