AMD Socket-M2 CPUs and Intel 945 motherboards to up DDR2 demand in 1Q
DDR2 memory has been strictly an Intel affair for the past year which has limited its widespread penetration into the marketplace. With the introduction of AMD's Socket-M2 processors in the first quarter of 2006, however, demand for DDR memory should explode:
AMD reportedly will announce the availability of its 90nm M2 socket design, with all of its desktop processors, including single- and dual-core CPUs, adopting the 940-pin platform next year. The chip vendor has begun delivering samples, the makers said, noting that volume shipment of products based on AMD's DDR2-supporting CPU design are slated for the first quarter 2006. http://www.digitimes.com/mobos/a20051017A7037.html
