Qimonda churns out DDR-2 FB-DIMMs

THE DRAM firm formerly known as Infineon said it has introduced DDR-2 FB DIMMs for Intel Bensley based machines.

Qimonda said it is at full throttle manufacturing the memory modules at speeds of 533MHz and 667MHz with densities spanning 512MB to 4GB. It said it is a partner for major server OEMs including Dell, HP, Big Blue and Siemens Fujitsu.

It hopes to have 50 per cent of the X86 FB DIMM server market.

Qimonda reckons that the FB-DIMM OEM server market will surpass 68 per centby 2008. µ

* IN ITS own words, Qimonda AG "is the new memory company carved out of Infineon Technologies AG". Infineon was carved out of Siemens as Siemens Semiconductor, as was Swiss firm Swissbit.ch. Qimonda is a owned by IFX right now, but will float on a bourse somewhere or other, probably in the second half of this year.
