Developers accelerate projects for ultra-fast DRAMs

Article Abstract:

Semiconductor manufacturers have hastened their development of faster DRAMs, after slower DRAMs have been proven to cause bottlenecks at the system level. Synchronous DRAMs that can transfer data at extremely swift rates between the MPU and the DRAM have already been introduced in the market. These devices are now being used in personal computers, servers and other advanced information terminals. Other makers are concentrating on Rambus DRAMs, which can transfer data up to 1.6GB/sec.

MB81F64 synchronous DRAMs

Article Abstract:

Fujitsu has introduced the MB81F64 series of DRAMs for use in PCs and servers. The MB81F654 is rated at 133 MHz with 5.4ns access time and 2.7ns next-data holding time. The MB81F64442D-75 is in the 4mx4banksx4bits configuration while the the MB81F64842D-75 is in the 2Mx4banksx8bits configuration. On the other hand, the MB8508SR72DB-75DG sells for 25,000 yen or $208 while the MB8516SR72DB-75DG sells for 45,000 yen or $375.
