I just found the translator(not very good), here's an intereting quote:
<< As expressed already, if this time the DRAM controller of the Hammer, the DDR333, in other words refers to memory module, it became clear to support the PC2700. The crank person " is 4th quarter ", we express the release time of the Hammer, if we assume that is correct, as the time when the DDR333 gets near to real spread call, been proper selection, you can think.
With the IDF as for the ?f?W?[ * ???[?f?? person of the AMI " as for the DRAM the generation alternates $dm 2 - 3 years in memory track/truck " PC Memory Development Challenges And Solutions ". It is important " collectively to develop the product to that, it points out. Usually, with the PC the generation of the DRAM substituting, tip/chip set just is changed. But, every CPU you must exchange the Hammer which integrates the DRAM controller. Because of that, it is necessary to do again to design the CPU itself, if just tip/chip set should have been exchanged unlike the CPU of usual architecture, it can call the resource which depends on the development it is large in comparison with when just tip/chip set is exchanged.
In the past, it has challenged in also the Intel integrating the DRAM controller to the CPU. It is the Timna. The Timna the controller of the Direct RDRAM was integrated, but price of the Direct RDRAM did not go down unlike the thought of the Intel, in the low-end market which the Timna has made the target after all became the design which is not agreeable. But, very long time is required for the design of the CPU, modifies just the DRAM controller very is difficult. In other words it means that the one which is done again to design from 0 is better. If that it was, with the Timna was cancelled with the notion that where you say.
Life of the Hammer says, the ???[?f?? person, if " life of 2 - 3 years " and the synchronizer it has done, is not big problem, but the life slips temporarily, or like the Timna when the memory which has been planned unlike estimate, does not become the main stream, being the how good design, you cannot anticipate the success of the CPU. In other words, fate of the Hammer, trend of the DRAM how has become, probably may say it has influenced.
As for the crank person " memory industry has recognized the fact that it is the circumstance such as that in regard to this point. Of course, it is necessary to support DDR II with the future Hammer, examination has done ", you express, the prospect that was made clear the future Hammer corresponds to DDR II. Simply, concerning if concretely how, for example being allowed to improve the present Hammer a little whether, or whether substantial improvement is necessary it did not refer. Whether this how becomes you probably can call the future focus.
Certainly such gamble element although it is, builds in the DRAM controller, you can say the to pipeline by the fact that it converts, the ???C?e???V of memory decreases substantially even to entry to the DRAM, in the point of performance is a big merit. As expected, performance of the Hammer being which? We will assume it enjoys to day of release.
