Manufacturers and IP owner Rambus currently promote XDR as high-bandwidth memory for multimedia applications. The memory is likely to be first seen in conjunction with the Cell processor in Sony's next-gen PlayStation. Soon thereafter XDR is expected to be used for other devices in need of high-performance memory, such as high-end TVs, entertainment PCs. Rambus is careful to suggest any other applications beyond that, but industry sources already confirmed that XDR is considered as successor for GDDR3 memory in high-end graphics cards for 2006 and could even make its way into PCs as system memory in the 2007 time frame.
