VIA og ATi arbejder sammen om XDDR

VIA og ATi arbejder sammen om XDDR-RAM, som vil fordoble hastigheden i forhold til nuværende DDR og DDR2 RAM. Det sker ved at transportere 4 bit pr. clockcyklus istedet for 2 bit for nuværende standarder.

So, theoretically, XDDR might end up twice as fast offering twice as much bandwidth from current memory. Thinking about this marchitecture, you have to bear in mind that doubling the current DDR 2 and GDDR3 memory bandwidths could be warmly accepted in graphic circles - well at least in ATI's. You never know how Nvidia might react to it but I don?t see a warm welcome as it might have the ATI mark of the Canadian Wastes on it.
