Samsung Ready to Meet Industry Demand with Intel Validation for DDR400.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Intel Developer Forum Intel Developer Forum (IDF), is a twice yearly gathering of technologists to discuss Intel products and products based around Intel products. The first IDF was in 1997. There is usually a Spring IDF and a Fall IDF. 2003 SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2003 Samsung Receives Intel System Validation for its 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 400 in Support of Springdale Chipset Roll-Out at the Intel Developer's Forum Samsung Electronics Samsung Electronics (SEC, Hangul:삼성전자; KSE: 005930, KSE: 005935, LSE: SMSN, LSE: SMSD) is a South Korean multinational corporation and the world's largest and leading electronics and information technology company. Co., Ltd., the world's leading supplier of advanced memory technology, today announced that its DDR400 has passed Intel system validation for Springdale and is 100% compliant with the Intel specification. Samsung's high-speed Double Data Rate DDR400 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. is in volume production, achieving high yields and cost efficiencies, to ensure supply of the advanced memory chips required to optimize Intel's Springdale chipset. "We are pleased that Samsung's DDR400 has received Intel system validation on its new Springdale chipset," said Tom Quinn Tom Quinn is the fictional Senior Case Officer, Section D, at MI5's Counter-Terrorism Department, as seen in BBC spy drama Spooks. He was portrayed by actor Matthew Macfadyen until his departure in the third season. , Samsung's San Jose-based vice president of marketing. "Samsung has long been the driving force behind DDR400; we were the first to announce the device, and the first to ship in volume. Today, we are confident that Samsung has the capacity in place to meet the fast growing demand for DDR400 expected from the introduction of Intel's Springdale," Quinn noted. "We will see DDR 400 support the highest performance Pentium(R) 4 processor desktop and workstation systems in 2003. We are pleased that Samsung will support our roadmap by offering Intel compliant DDR 400 memory for these applications," said Pete MacWilliams, Intel Senior Fellow. Samsung's DDR400 was first developed in March 2002. Through close partnerships with leading chipset makers and active participation in standardization efforts, Samsung has dedicated its expertise in the memory business to introduce the next generation memory technology. The introduction of Intel's Springdale chipset supports Samsung's DDR400 strategy, which is designed to optimize the Springdale 800MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. front side bus architecture. Samsung's Intel system endorsed DDR400 line-up includes 256Mbit(Mb) and 128Mb components and a variety of 512MByte(MB), 256MB and 128MB density modules. Manufactured using a 0.13-micron process, Samsung's DDR400 SDRAM features 200MHz operation with 400Mbps data transmission speeds. The DDR400 launched volume production in Q4 2002.
