Marvell announces Discovery III Northbridge : Comment 36 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 30-Sep-2003 20:25 GMT | In reply to Comment 26 (Hagge): > i think some g4s got ddr support
The CPU is not connected to memory at all, so how can it have DDR support?! The G4 is only connected to the northbridge. That part is, among other things, connected to memory (DDR RAM or SD-RAM ram). You must either mean that a G4 exists that can put DDR RAM bandwidth to good use so that it is not completely wasted OR that the frontside bus uses a similar technology of sending data on both edges of the clock signal. I don't know if the term DDR is used in that case? |
