Qimonda AG, a leading supplier of memory products that was carved out of Infineon Technologies AG (FSE/NYSE: IFX) on May 1, today announced that it was selected by Microsoft as a preferred, comprehensive supplier of graphics RAM for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment console from Microsoft . Qimonda will supply a significant share of 512Mbit GDDR3 (Graphic Double Data Rate 3) RAM for the Xbox 360 to Microsoft.
"Leading edge graphics memory is essential to realize life like video images from the Xbox 360," said Todd Holmdahl, Vice President of Gaming and Xbox Platform Group at Microsoft. "Qimonda's capabilities to design and deliver highly advanced graphics memory products in large volumes were decisive factors in our selection of Qimonda as a strategic and comprehensive partner for the Xbox 360."
"We are very proud to be selected by Microsoft and to successfully qualify our high-end GDDR3 graphics RAM for the Xbox 360 game console," said Thomas Seifert, member of the management board of Qimonda. "This is a major milestone reflecting the success of an important part of our product diversification strategy and continuously growing our share in the graphics memory market. We are fully committed to providing leading edge graphics memory solutions to meet the high-performance requirements of gaming applications and give our customers a competitive edge."
In the Xbox 360, each of the eight GDDR3 16Mbit x 32 components used operates at a rated clock speed to achieve data bandwidth of up to 44.8Gbit/s per memory device. The 512Mbit GDDR3 comes in a JEDEC compliant 136 ball FBGA package with dimensions of 11mm x 14mm x 1.2mm.
xbox 360是128bit内存总线,新闻稿中qimonda提供的GDDR3内存是2M*32bit*8 bank,和目前三星提供给微软的K4J52324QC是一样的规格。
官方新闻稿说的是"44.8Gbit/s per memory device",xbox 360拥有4枚这样的memory device提供的带宽是179.2Gbit/s或者22.4GB/s,与目前的XBOX 360版本完全一样,丝毫不存在id"他老人家"所声称的带宽性能提高一倍的说法。
盲目并且严重偏向性地迷信听从一些低水平编辑所写的新闻,所"获得"的信息是没有任何价值的,你在别的地方转载可能会让人上当,但是在PCINLIFE是定必被揭穿的。 |
