Micron to Demonstrate DDR333 SDRAM Platforms At VIA Tech Forum.Business Editors, High-Tech Writers BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 4, 2001 Micron Technology Micron Technology ("Micron") NYSE: MU is a multinational company based in Boise, Idaho, USA, best known for producing many forms of semiconductor devices. This includes DRAM, SDRAM, flash memory, and CMOS image sensing chips. , Inc., today announced that it will demonstrate multiple DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory 333 SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. platforms at the VIA Technology Forum, held in Taipei, Taiwan (September 4-5), Tokyo, Japan (September 7), Beijing, China (September 11), and Munich, Germany (September 13). These platforms will feature Micron's DDR333 SDRAM. Micron will demonstrate a Micron chipset and system, which utilizes DDR333 SDRAM memory modules and features a PCI-X (PCI eXtended) An enhanced PCI bus technology originally developed by IBM, HP and Compaq that is backward compatible with existing PCI cards. PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots. bus, as well as a 64-bit PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). 2.2 bus. Micron designed this as a development chipset to enable system developers and designed the chipset, motherboard, and DDR SDRAM components and modules. With DRAM technology becoming increasingly complex, Micron is focusing on ways to help its customers implement new high-performance DRAM products. "We developed our DDR SDRAM platforms as reference designs that our customers can use in designing DDR SDRAM systems," said Mike Seibert, Micron's Strategic Marketing Manager. "Micron is the only memory company conducting system technology development to help enable our customers. We are providing customers with the various tools and resources they need to develop system-level products using cutting-edge memory technology. We are also working with customers on design guidelines for DDR333 technology." Micron was the first company to demonstrate a DDR266 system and continues to collaborate closely with key suppliers to drive leading-edge system technology. The company worked with multiple motherboard suppliers to develop DDR333 systems. Micron recently demonstrated its DDR333 platform at the Intel Developers Forum. ALI is also demonstrating platforms using Micron DDR333 SDRAMs. For more information on utilizing DDR333 in system development, contact Micron's Marketing Department at 208/368-3900. Micron Technology, Inc., and its subsidiaries manufacture and market DRAMs, very fast SRAMs, Flash Memory, other semiconductor components, and memory modules. Micron's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) World's largest marketplace for securities. The exchange began as an informal meeting of 24 men in 1792 on what is now Wall Street in New York City. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange ) under the MU symbol.
