Industry Insider Report: AMD May Skip DDR2

...According to the source, AMD has other plans with DDR and the company will possibly make advancements in this sector. The source also said that AMD might be going its own way by not following Intel with their DDR2 implementations. Instead, the world second largest chipmaker may go straight to DDR3 or XDR in hopes of adopting a better architecture. You see, DDR2 was a poor design to begin with, but considering that Intel has been making quite a few mistakes after its Prescott and i915/i925 launch, no one should be surprised...

...The source revealed that AMD could move to the DDR3 standard, assuming it skips DDR2, sometime within the next 12 months. And until AMD stays with DDR, there𠏋 no drop in market share in this area. It will continue to lead as a strong standard....

當然這篇舊報導在今天來看，早己預測失準了…

不過這種猜測，的確是曾經有過的。
