AMD Socket-M2 CPUs and Intel 945 motherboards to up DDR2 demand in 1Q

jmke · 17th October 2005, 17:59

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.
