Infineon announced that it has started sampling the high-density 1GB DDR module, a registered DIMM organized 128Mbit x 72. The PC1600 module is made using 36 components of 256Mbits each, and employs stacking to achieve the highest density available today for DDR modules.
It was also announced that Infineon 256-MB DDR DIMMs have been validated for use with the AMD-760 chipset by AMD and AMD’s validation partner, SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. AMD has undertaken a major enabling effort for DDR memory for use with its Athlon-based platforms, and has created the validation program, which will contribute greatly to enabling the steep volume ramp of DDR memory in the PC, Workstation and Server industry expected for this year.
Samples of 256-Mbit DDR parts in the DDR200 and DDR266 versions are available immediately, along with samples of the related 256MB unbuffered and 256MB and 512MB registered DIMMs. Samples of the 1GB DDR registered DIMM will become widely available in the course of the second quarter 2001.
