DDR2 is nearing the End of it's life Cycle.. So why is it impossible for you to understand that AMD is going to wait 6 more Months to release a DDR3 Proc..
Socket S1 (the upcoming Mobile socket) is going to Be DDR2
But M2 is going to be DDR3

[Tulatin]

About the timings thing a few pages back, the Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 sticks are rated at 33310. I'd know, i have a set.

DDR2 is nearing the End of it's life Cycle

lol... That couldnt be further from the truth. Infact DDR2 is just now starting to kick off, we have atleast 2 years to go before DDR2 is "on its way out". Hell half of the MFGRs havent even geared up for mass-ddr2 production yet.

So why is it impossible for you to understand that AMD is going to wait 6 more Months to release a DDR3 Proc

I dont get why you are being so insistant about AM2 being DDR3... Ive said to you personally that it is not. You can choose to believe what I am telling you or not, but it will not change the facts. This summer you will see for yourself that it does not use DDR3.

And in addition why would they want to use DDR3? Have you even seen the kind of latency it has? You think people are complaining now about 4-4-4..ha Id love to see people's reaction when they find out that Samsung GC16 is like 9-8-8-25 (id have to check). The best DDR3 for timings out of all of them is GC20 which sports 7-7-7-21

Socket S1 (the upcoming Mobile socket) is going to Be DDR2
But M2 is going to be DDR3

S1 is, rather was to be the Sempron socket which I believe they canned for a unified AM2 socket. M1 is the socket you are thinking of (the mobile one) which was also (I believe) canned for the reason above

Search for Micron D9s...they are the TCCD of DDR2...

Perkam

Its honestally closer to being like BH5. The new chips we released are far closer to being TCCD than is D9 (has both in front of me)

Again with the DDR3 crap? Just stop it!

just forget about it or this thread is going to be closed again... he can believe whatever he wants...

[nn_step]

Thank you Leviathan... All we can do is wait and see

[fhpchris]

Actually even today, DDR400 2-2-2-5 is still only MANUALLY set

IIRC, SPDs were made to be lower, so one could have his system boot

However, many SPDs today are infact DDR400-2-2-2-5.

I don't see what his reason is besides "doesn't make any sense for AMD to use something that Intel is discarding." That's a horrible reason, plus AMD officially states on their website that they plan DDR2 usage for 2006.. I really thought he was high or something when he wouldn't give it up after that

[[XC] leviathan18]

For you to be pwned.. honestly I can't believe you're so dull

forget about that.... keep the thread clean


as i said he has some reason to believe that so time will say which one is wrong or right

[MRBIGSHOT]

hardocp working es

check the attachment for proof of ddr2 usage, tested stock 2.4 ghz

[nn_step]

That image is so Grainy it can be fake..

[Repoman]

Will you give it up

I used to think you knew what you were talking about too..

[nn_step]

I still know what I used to..
The only difference is I disagree with alot of People about M2
I will admit That S1 will be DDR2 but M2 is supposed to be DDR3

[thephenom]

That image is so Grainy it can be fake..

That's right, it MUST be a conspiracy for people to FAKE M2 is DDR2, just so everyone would start buying a lot of DDR2 before it debuts to drive DDR2 sales, so they can make billions of dollars.

[revlimiter9000]

Conspiracy????

Socket M2 processors will support Dual Channel DDR2-667 memories with a low latency of CL3 and HTT is raised from 200MHz to 333MHz.

I'm not part of the gang that seems to be ganging up on you nn but there are several sources here that are pretty hard to just dismiss.

[GMX]

Perhaps you should be in StockSystems.org and not XtremeSystems.org

DDR400 2-2-2-5 were never OFFICIALLY made until after a WHILE DDR400 was created. Actually even today, DDR400 2-2-2-5 is still only MANUALLY set, SPD are still at 2.5-3-3, so does that mean it's "natively" not 2-2-2-5?

As I said before, if you think AM2 is going to be DDR3, I think a LOT of people here will take a bet on with you for any amount of money.

CHange the word SPDs to JEDEC reference design, it would strengthen what you are saying

nn_step, there are so many facts around here, why do you still insist on DDR3.
that AMD roadmap clearly showed what's going on, ddr3 2008, ddr2 2006, and yet you stick to your stubborn idea of M2=ddr3.

[Cooper]

Now what kinda RAM do those slots use

[[XC] leviathan18]

just start counting pins xD

[3NZ0]

Got to 239 contacts, then lost count

Got to 239 contacts, then lost count

Strange I only Counted 184.. Then I lost count

[saaya]

fx62 already?

[nn_step]

My thoughts are FX-60 @ 65nm not 90nm

[Revv23]

i just want something new from amd before conroe comes out, i think it would be awesome if conroe came out and still underperformed the latest amd CPU.

[nn_step]

Are 65nm Dual Cores with some Refinements not enough for you?
