DDR3 could be just months away from unseating DDR2 as the leading system memory type for PCs. In its latest report, iSuppli says it expects DDR3 to account for 50.9% of global DRAM shipments by the second quarter of 2010, before going on to make up 71% of shipments by the end of that same year.

For reference, the market research firm points out that DDR3 only made up 1% of shipments in the second quarter of 2008 and 14.2% in the second quarter of this year. Shipments climbed to 23% last quarter, and iSuppli reckons they'll go up another nine points this quarter.
