Rambus - XDR™2 Memory vs. GDDR5
Rambus - XDR™2 Memory vs. GDDR5
That is great news.
XDR2 offers 2.5x the bandwidth of GDDR5
It will be interesting to see how Nvidia reacts. GDDR5 vs XDR2 (unless Nvidia also opts for Rambus. Highly unlikely given their legal history).

^^the bad news is that it is launching on Q1 2012 which was supposed to be Q4 2011.
Meh. It doesnt matter. Nvidia too has delayed their launch to 2012.
This gives AMD more time to perfect the use of the Rambus tech.
XDR2 is way more expensive than GDDR5 btw. So finally it has come down to reasonable price levels.

Not exactly a bad news, considering the fact that late release means more stable product release, and lesser chance of fault in the card. More value for money & obviously, increased rivalry with nVidia.
thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link for comparision. I am quite happy to see the tech behind but yes its a bad news for me to see about release dates as I am to buy a PC but because of telayed. First bulldozer and now this. I thought I'll buy in Q4 2011 bur now it seems to be Q1 2012.
