devhardware.com discusses the future of XDR. The four page article can be found here.
Hat tip to Joe (and others) of the Threadhurst Thread for the link.
The specs on this memory look awesome, but so did the last generation of Rambus memory. RDRAM failed because DDR one upped it, but this time there is no other competing memory. XDR will run with lower volts and higher bandwidth than even DDR3. It will add features that will make motherboards smaller, and easier to create, like FlexIO and performance. The Octal Data Rate in particular should appeal to consumers. With Playstation 3 and any device that will use the Cell CPU, XDR memory will be right alongside. Hopefully XDR can ride the Cell wave to success.
