Process of migration from DDR-2 to DDR- 3 go in different segments with different speed, depending on the belonging with Intel or AMD platform. If the previous generation platforms provided simultaneous support of DDR-2 and DDR- 3 , then Intel processors last generation finally forewent the support of DDR-2 in favor DDR- 3.
Associate with the reference to the data of iSuppli forecast reports that the portion of DDR- 3 in the deliveries volumes of memory will exceed 50% in the second quarter 2010, whereas a year earlier it composed only 14,2%. To the end of 2010 DDR- 3 portions will increase to 71%, and DDR-2 portion will be reduced to 15%.
The basic factors, which contribute to an increase in the popularity of DDR3 memory this is Intel processor generation nehalem and the transfer of production lines in the thinner technological processes, which allow to reduce the prime cost of DDR- 3 productions and to increase the output volumes . DDR- 3 works at one and a half times higher frequencies and has lower by 30% energy consumption in comparison with DDR-2, but it is characterized by higher latencies. Related Products :
