Boise, Idaho, June 11, 2003 -- Micron Technology, Inc., has delivered the industry’s first graphics double data rate SDRAM (GDDR3) components to ATI Technologies, Inc. and NVIDIA Corporation. GDDR3 targets high-speed point-to-point applications such as high-end PC graphics and gaming platforms requiring ultra fast data rates. This breakthrough technology can provide an aggregate bandwidth of 6.4GB per second per device, achieved with a 1.6Gb per second per pin data rate. GDDR3 is the fastest memory device available today. Fabricated on Micron's leading-edge 0.11µm process technology, GDDR3 provides the highest performance in both per-pin bandwidth and aggregate bandwidth.
“Speed and power are two critical elements that can make or break high-speed graphics designs,” said Terry Lee, Executive Director of Advanced Technology and Strategic Marketing for Micron’s Computing and Consumer Group. “GDDR3 operates at 50 percent higher data rates while consuming approximately half the power of graphics DDR2. With these speed and power advantages, we believe the first applications to adopt GDDR3 will be high-end graphics, gaming markets and high-speed networking.”
"ATI worked closely with Micron to define and develop GDDR3 as part of an industry-wide initiative, and we commend Micron for being first to sample GDDR3 devices," said Joe Macri, Director of Technology, ATI Technologies Inc, and Chairman, JC42.3 DRAM Committee, JEDEC.
"We are pleased to have the first samples of GDDR3 devices to test with our latest generation graphics processor," said Bryn Young, Director of Memory Marketing, NVIDIA Corporation. "GDDR3 provides tremendous performance gains that will raise the performance bar of next-generation PC graphics."
Micron Technology, Inc., is one of the world's leading providers of advanced semiconductor solutions. Through its worldwide operations, Micron manufactures and markets DRAMs, Flash memory, CMOS image sensors, other semiconductor components and memory modules for use in leading-edge computing, consumer, networking, and mobile products. Micron's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the MU symbol. To learn more about Micron Technology, Inc., visit its Web site at www.micron.com.
