PS3 eats up 90 percent of all XDR devices shipped
The XDR memory industry is thriving, thanks in huge part to Sony‘s PlayStation 3 game console which accounts for about 90 percent of all XDR memory devices sold thus far, according to Rambus, developer of the technology.
The game console uses for pieces of 512Mbit XDR in its system. So far, 5.5 million of the machines have been sold, indicating that some 25 million XDR memory devices have been shipped by manufacturers.
Samsung and Elpida are the two chief suppliers for Sony when it comes to XDR memory. Rambus did not disclose what other products currently run with XDR units in them but said that XDR is “suited for graphics processing, consumer electronics, network and server applications, as well as a new generation of compute platforms driven by multi-core processors.”
XDR is among the fastest media of its kind currently in the market. It runs at about 4Ghz and has a bandwidth of 8GB per second. Rambus says this could rise to double that capacity in future models.
