Manufacturer of memory chips, the company Qimonda, reported the beginning of the supply of memory microchips standard XDR DRAM, which are designed primarily for use in the modern game consoles PlayStation 3. First engineering samples of semiconductor devices were delivered to customers in January 2008. Production of memory chips based on the XDR architecture produced under licence, acquired the company Rambus, and the products themselves positioned as solutions for computing systems, make special demands on the memory subsystem performance.

According to the manufacturer, chips can transmit data at speeds of 3.2 Gbit / s, that allows you to create the memory subsystem with a peak capacity of 6.4 Gb / s. But it is noteworthy that in future it is planned to increase productivity chips to 6.4 Gb / s, which would increase system capacity memory up to 12.8 GB / sec.

Finally say that the beginning of the serial manufacturing of standard memory chips XDR DRAM Qimonda line with the company strategy to improve the profitability of their business for the manufacture of DRAM-memory, it is no secret that today the market is “operational” chips are not experiencing the best times, and forced manufacturers to the extent possible expand the range of its products, or to transfer manufacturing capacity to produce new devices such as flash memory chips.
