FUTURE CPU & MEMORY SPEEDS

[ASIMOS]

I made this chart below as a very optimistic representation as to what we can expect before 2006.I don't like it but I am forced to do it since I heard that in 2005 Q3 we will see 128bit version of DDRII modules (Double bandwidth in relation to standard DDRII modules (64bit)):
YEAR__QUARTER__MICRON___FSB__MIN-MULTIPLIER____SPEED___MAX-MULTIPLIER____SPEED_______
2003____Q3_______0,9_____800________4__________3.200_________5___________4.000_______
2003____Q4_______0,9_____800________5,25_______4.200_________5,5__________4.400_______
2004____Q1_______0,9_____800________5,75_______4.600_________6___________4.800_______.
2004____Q2_______0,9____1066________4__________4.267_________5___________5.333_______
2004____Q3_______0,9____1066________5,25_______5.600_________5,5__________5.867_______
2004____Q4_______0,9____1066________5,75_______6.133_________6___________6.400_______.
2005____Q1_______0,65___1600________4__________6.400_________5___________8.000_______
2005____Q2_______0,65___1600________5,25_______8.400_________5,5__________8.800_______
2005____Q3_______0,65___1600________5,75_______9.200_________6___________9.600_______.
2005____Q4_______0,65___2133________4__________8.533_________5___________10.667______

So yes, maybe we will have 10+ Ghz processors before 2006.

Also here is what Rambus is going to for us before 2005:
2003 Q3 1200MHZ 64bit Rimm single 9,6GB per second Dual 19,2 per second
2003 Q4 1333MHZ 64bit Rimm single 10,7GB per second Dual 21,4 per second
2004 Q2 1600MHZ 64bit Rimm single 12,8GB per second Dual 25,6 per second
2005 Q3 1600MHZ 128bit Rimm single 25,6GB per second Dual 51,2 per second

Just for comparison DDR camp (CAS2):
2003 Q1 400Mhz 64bit DDRI SDRAM single 3,2GB per second Dual 6,4 per second
2004 Q1 533Mhz 64bit DDRII SDRAM single 4,3GB per second Dual 8,6 per second
2004 Q2 667Mhz 64bit DDRII SDRAM single 5,4GB per second Dual 10,8 per second
2004 Q4 800Mhz 64bit DDRII SDRAM single 6,4GB per second Dual 12,8 per second
2005 Q3 533Mhz 128bit DDRII SDRAM single 8,6GB per second Dual 17,2 per second
2005 Q4 667Mhz 128bit DDRII SDRAM single 10,8GB per second Dual 21,6 per second
2006 Q2 800Mhz 128bit DDRII SDRAM single 12,8GB per second Dual 25,6 per second

About the multipliers you've listed, I think they need to be 4x what you have them listed as. Intel uses a four transfer per cycle bus, so the actual frequencies are one quarter what you have listed, 200, 266, 400, and 533, and the effective frequency is what you have listed. Also, where is AMD's chart? 😛 Peace.
