Micron Technology samples SO-DIMM DDR2
Another sign of oncoming changes in computer industry: Micron Technology sampled the first DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMM modules to Intel. Modules´ form-factor naturally positions them for notebooks, and DDR2 clearly indicates they are designed for the second Centrino generation Sonoma – that will be announced in H2 2004. Sonoma will include the future Dothan-based Pentium M, Calexico 2 802.11a/b/g wireless solution as well as the new chipset codenamed Alviso. The latter will differ by own integrated graphics PCI Express, NewCard, Serial ATA, Intel Azalia codec as well as the DDR2 support.
New Micron DDR2 SO-DIMM modules 30mm in height have 128Mb or 256Mb capacities and are organized as x16 or x8. In the future the company plans to release the entire PC2-3200 and PC2-4300 series with 128Mb to 1Gb capacities.
