wow!!!

 

[daft]

thats all well and good, but what sort of speeds and timings are we talking about? and why cant they put that 50nm into ddr2 for the poor like me?

I think with this comes a new standard question of computing- how many WINDOWS of crysis can you run at once? Alas, if only this wasnt restricted just for servers.

Can't wait to see the comparison with other memory

 

[gnesterenko]

Relax, its coming to the consumer market soon enough...

They talk about 2009 and 2011, what about 2010?

Were skipping over that year.

Anyone else slightly annoyed they still haven't brought 4GB DDR3 to the consumers? Seems more like a slap in the face to us.

Yes I am Tim. And I believe those with Core i7 systems are very mad. So 192GB total...Who's up for some defragging while listening to music while playing Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Farcry 2 while watching a BR movie while on a p2p network. Most importantly - what are the constraints on them? max speed for stable OC? heat? will they have heat-spreaders and have a shinny badge saying "My memory own3s yours!"

I'd pay $20k to have 192GB of RAM. Seriously!

Now all we need are some motherboards with a single slot. Talk about freeing up motherboard real-estate. I could do a lot with 16GBs and I don't really think I'd need much more at this point in time. Not to mention the energy savings from only having to power one slot.

when are there going to be 32nm 4GB DDR5 sticks available for pc's at the price of $25 per pair?

 

[rooket]

Heat shouldn't be an issue at 1.35 volts. They are claiming low power consumption so that has to mean the amps are low too, otherwise this is just hot air.

Nice break through.
