Marvell announces Discovery III Northbridge : Comment 86 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by tarbos on 02-Oct-2003 04:34 GMT | In reply to Comment 85 (Joe "Floid" Kanowitz): |Northbridge @2.2 Ghz FSB. >I know (or hope) you're just playing, but he meant the on-die memory controller. I see. It's just confusing since there is no "northbridge" per se on AMD64.The RAM controller at first was only good for DDR333 with Opteron andHypertransport also doesn't run at 2,2GHz - so why draw a (non)comparison hereto other systems' real northbridges/systemcontrollers?An onchip memory controller is nothing new, certain IBM and Motorola SoC PPC haveit now (also with DDR Ram support) - Transmeta even adds AGP. |
