Short Takes: Infineon readies DDR memory chips

Infineon Technologies announced it has started to produce sample versions of its 256-Mbit Double Data Rate (DDR) synchronous DRAM(SDRAM) memory chips. The 256-Mbit DDR SDRAMs are available in the PC200 standard as well as in the faster PC266A and PC266B speed versions. "We will ramp our DDR production volume in close contact with our customers as the server and workstation market and the performance desktop PC market each embrace the low-cost, high-performance benefits of DDR." said Harald Eggers, Infineon senior vice president.
