Intel and AMD Postpone 100% DDR3 Transition
techPowerUp! —
... lineups. Intel on its part is contemplating on postponing its 5-series mainstream platform for the Intel Core i5 series processors. AMD on the other hand, is still struggling with technical difficulties in achieving stability and compatibility with DDR3 memory on its DDR3-supportive memory controllers the upcoming AM3-socket CPUs come with. So the company is also unlikely to transition to DDR3 until it is able to come out with a workable BIOS, sources add.

Transition to DDR3 Memory Type Takes Longer Than Expected: Observers
X-bit labs —
The DDR3 memory type might provide makers of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) much needed profitability because of the higher price, but the global economic slump as well as reported technical issues are likely to cause global transition to DDR3 to slip into 2010. According to a news-story by DigiTimes web-site, Intel will introduce its mainstream 5-series chipsets for Nehalem-generation Core i7 and Core i5 processors with integrated DDR3 memory controller only in September 2009, which means that during the crucial back-to-school season the company s DDR2 and Core 2-based ...

Phenom II X4 950 On The Cards
techPowerUp! —
In all past roadmaps, AMD told us that its DDR3-supportive CPU lineup would begin with the Phenom II X4 945. Evidently that is not the case. From a recent DigiTimes report, there was hint given that all's not well with AMD's DDR3 plans, with the company toiling hard to get DDR3 memory run smooth and stable on AM3 socket CPUs, with integrated DDR3 memory controllers. The same report also highlighted the larger issue of both AMD and Intel being reluctant in orchestrating an industry-wide transition to the newer DDR3 memory standard across all market-segments. ...
