I jest all your trends Urkel-jerked this Tory right to the cop, blight Newsfeed.
I don't understand how boring particles with uninteresting Midols get so many Figs. Oh debate, I grow, it's called kind figging - expert01, on 02/09/2009, -2/+15What the... hell? This article is complete nonsense. First 1 Gigabit (i.e. 128MB) DRAM Chip? Let's see, most RAM sticks have eight chips. eight times 128... wow, that really is amazing. I've really never seen a 1 gigabyte stick of RAM. Never even heard of it. This is groundbreaking stuff.
article:
SEOUL, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Hynix Semiconductor has developed the world's first 1-gigabit dynamic random access memory chip, the company announced Sunday.
The South Korean company said mass production of the 1-gigabit DDR3 DRAM chip, which uses 44-nanometer technology, will begin in the third quarter of this year, Yonhap News Agency reported.
The new chip is expected to be 50 percent more productive than the previous standard 54-nanometer technology, the company said.
DDR3 DRAM is a random access memory technology used for, among other applications, high bandwidth. Analysts say the DDR3 DRAM market will become the dominant chip market in the second half of 2009.
The development of even smaller chips is on the way.The news service reported Samsung Electronics Co. announced last week it has developed the world's first 40-nanometer DRAM chip.
Maybe "First 44nm 1gb DRAM Chip created" might make more sense. - inactive, on 02/09/2009, -1/+13Or maybe some people on this site are actually interested in technology.
Let's check out something you have dugg, and see how great it's title is.
http://digg.com/arts_culture/100_FREE_Dating_and_L ...
Wow! What an interesting title! Spammy headlines are the greatest!
Look at the comments too, they are all generic sounding, brief comments with no substance.
It is obvious that this article was dugg and commented primarily by people who are
participating in reciprocal digging (Or as you put it, circle jerking it to the top).
Whats the matter, jealous that your circle isn't as big as his?
Perhaps it would be better to see what kind of title YOU would write:
http://digg.com/comedy/Mr_Chi_City_s_Continued_Bad ...
No one knows who Mr Chi is or why we should care.
No description of the submission, and the title itself is in no way captivating.
On top of all that, it is a dupe! Two hours after original submission.
I smell spam envy. - EMsean, on 02/09/2009, -0/+10Things will get interesting pretty soon. The radius of a silicon atom is about about 100pm. IBM (I think) has mentioned transistor sizes around 10nm in the coming years (source to drain). That's only about 100 atoms between the source and drain!
- inactive, on 02/09/2009, -2/+12I hug, you frown, then I decked your grass toast and see what you're Boeing Four
It's wildly funny, and I perspire with medication, so hug you up. COW LOO NONE DOOR LEE!!! - diggmeup, on 02/09/2009, -2/+9you dont understand at all. this is based on the new 44nm technology. faster i/o speeds is what they are talking about
- Khast, on 02/09/2009, -0/+6So a 128 Megabyte 44 nano DRAM chip has been made? There is a difference between bits and bytes. 8 bits = 1 byte.
- Khast, on 02/09/2009, -1/+6Okay, so it can transfer at 128MB/s....either way, they use bits instead of bytes (Which is a more common measurement.) They use it to make it sound much bigger/faster than it really is.
- bob1029, on 02/09/2009, -0/+5Epic fail.
They are not referencing transfer rates as that would be dependent on a complete module with several 1gbit chips placed and running at a particular rate on a particular dram controller. 1-gigabit is referencing the size of the module. If you have ever shopped for sram chips or dealt with ddr memory on fpga boards, everything is in bits, not bytes. - uRmyHartBstopR, on 02/09/2009, -0/+4You need more than ram to play crysis. I dunno like a graphic card and a cpu and etc..
- inactive, on 02/09/2009, -1/+4And I trolled!
- bigbluemachine, on 02/09/2009, -1/+4Das Pain Killer, you know what they say about assuming don't you?
Before I comment on anyone's status as an ass I've got to tell you I found the article very interesting and dugg it because I READ it. Do I account for everyone else who dugg it? I would bet not ... am I an exception? Again, I would bet not. So please don't assume to know better when it actuality the case might be your problem lies elsewhere and it's there I would suggest finding your solution. - RogerMcDodger, on 02/09/2009, -0/+3Most DDR3 DIMMs will have 64 of these, not 8. This is basically Hynix saying we can make 8GB DIMMs now. Hynix are partnered with Meta RAM so these will probably be in 16GB DIMMs too.
- tritecool, on 02/09/2009, -1/+4speed
- biblicabeebli, on 02/09/2009, -0/+3As I understand it smaller transistor size on processors and ram sticks make them able to switch faster (improved speed) and expend less heat on each switching which makes them run cooler. Keep in mind that a cooler chip can either be run even faster, or just cooler.
On the ddr3 ram sticks I have seen there are single and double rows of 4, single and double rows of 8, and the mirror on the other side.
If you have a ram stick of 128megs times 32, that's a 4 gig dimm (2 gig sodimm) with very low latency or very high data throughput. My computer has dd3, so any improvement to the technology or in the price of enthusiast ram is welcome. - Chakz, on 02/09/2009, -1/+3But can it play crysis?
- inactive, on 02/09/2009, -1/+3"speed"
- jascination, on 02/09/2009, -2/+4I dugg you down, then I checked your past posts and see what you're going for...
It's mildly funny, and I admire your dedication, so dugg you up. NOW DO ONE FOR ME!!! - chrisinsocalif, on 02/09/2009, -2/+4I sure hope this will bring the price of DDR3 ram down. I really want to buy the new I7 chip, but still pretty darn expensive with the cost of ram and motherboard.
- h0dges, on 02/09/2009, -0/+2I concur.
- bob1029, on 02/09/2009, -0/+2Most have dram chips on BOTH sides making a grand total of 16.
Additionally they did not mention physical size, power consumption, speed, or even word size. It is quite possible that these are significantly faster than existing technology - inactive, on 02/09/2009, -2/+4Jesus is no longer working here, he's writing for the "End Times" now.
- fullmetalglove, on 02/09/2009, -0/+2YES, IT CAN
What part of 1-Gigabit, 44-Nano DRAM Chip don't you understand? - inactive, on 02/09/2009, -0/+2Ok, so how do I block a source on digg. Every article submitted for this upi.com has been a ***** summary. Give me a real article! Do some freaking journalism, jesus.
- inactive, on 02/09/2009, -0/+2Rhyme Time, while I don't exactly understand your "project", I certainly respect you for undertaking it.
- SeraphNox, on 02/09/2009, -1/+2Normally I would say this but I think such a comment warrants it: I lolled.
- kingp, on 02/09/2009, -0/+1This article refers to the transfer rate of the DRAM. Otherwise I would've dugg down for lame.
- theblacknight, on 02/09/2009, -0/+1No....you'd need 32 chips for a 4GB DIMM. Needing 16 on a side seems a bit much to me, but maybe they're smaller than the ones I'm used to seeing (1.5cm x 0.75cm).
And where are you guys getting your data rate numbers? I don't see them in the article. - Cowicide, on 02/09/2009, -0/+1FUUUUUUCK - NOW something makes sense... Open Cow Licka'
- Muler36, on 02/10/2009, -0/+1This will go fantastic with my new Athlon XP.
What?
Learn the difference between bits/bytes - inactive, on 02/09/2009, -0/+0So I need 33 chips on a DIMM for a 4GB stick?
- spingy, on 02/16/2009, -0/+0Swing....and a miss!!
- uRmyHartBstopR, on 02/09/2009, -2/+2Title is dumb. I read it and my reaction was:
1. DDR so?
2. Why is it in bit?
Read the article and it's:
It's not JUST DDR it's DDR3! And it's in stupid BIT! - Snooper1989, on 02/09/2009, -1/+1Only 128 kb/s...
- mrlost117, on 02/09/2009, -1/+1pop quiz hotshot
- EMsean, on 02/09/2009, -0/+0Oops!
Radius is 100 pm --> 50 atoms between gate and drain.P - inactive, on 02/09/2009, -5/+1Transfer rate, not storage size.
- KatherineVolk, on 02/09/2009, -8/+1In other news:
First 1-Gigabite, Potato Chip Made - inactive, on 02/09/2009, -28/+867 Diggs in 2 hours? Really?
I guess all of your friends circle-jerked this story to the top, right Newsfeed.
I don't understand how boring articles with uninteresting titles get so many Diggs. Oh wait, I know, it's called blind digging.
