Is It True??? :(

[larry89]

I looked on newegg today and alas! the ocz platinum rev 2 are gone!

It may be a random question but I heard and read yesterday that TCCD samsung chips are being discontinued and ddr2 are coming into play on the inquierer.

Is it really True? :brokenheart:

according to a later inq, Corsair has wrapped up a 6 month supply - no one else.
supposedly new Winbond is coming

im a fan of OCZ

I have a pair of XLPT TCCD from corsair PC3200. (2x512) They pwn my LL Corsairs I had. The TCCD chips have gone up to DDR508 at aggressive timings.

Why would they discontinue a good thing? Probably to make a demand like the BH5 chips had.

*shrugs

funny thing is that i ordered my ocz plat rev2's the day right before they took them off newegg

 

[TomKazansky]

they're discontinuing because they want to push ddr2

Which is stupid because AMD is not ever going to release a DDR2 platform.
DDR3 offers DDR2 speeds with DDR latencies. That's why you see it on video cards all the time.

uhhh the stuff on video cards is GDDR not DDR... i also belive AMD plans on releasing a DDR2 chipset at some point.

I stand corrected on the video card memory. I shouldn't repeat something at face value.

Wouldn't it be easier to go for a quad channel memory controller? DDR2 latencies are horrible. I guess with more L2 the latencies effect would be subdued.

what everyone needs is xdr....come on toshiba, you guys can do it.

btw intel 915 and 925 ruined the game for everyone....they're the ones who pushed ddr2 and then memory makers started making ddr2 but nobody wants them so now they have to push the customers towards buying ddr2 and lga setups.

The pincount of such a chip would become insane for a consumer level product.
The new M2 socket is already something like 1200 pins, almost as much as an UltraSPARC III.

Wouldn't exactly make the motherboard design a walk in the park either.
