DDR Introduction
Established on the existing SDRAM infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a high
performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs, and
system integrators.
DDR memory is a great evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing SDRAM
architecture, yet make the awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck by doubling
the memory bandwidth. Nowadays, with the highest bandwidth of 3.2GB/s of DDR400 memory and
complete line of DDR400/333/266/200 memory solutions, DDR memory is the best choice for building
high performance and low latency DRAM subsystem that are suitable for servers, workstations, and full
range of desktop PCs.
