Oblivion Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 OCZ Addresses Reliability Issues with ZB-DDR OCZ Technology Group, a maker of ultra-high performance and high-reliability memory, in a collaborative effort with Inphi Corporation, a leader in precision timing and high-speed electronic components, announced the release of Zero-Buffer DDR (ZB-DDR) technology for unbuffered memory modules. Using discreet zero-delay clock buffers, ZB-DDR technology combines the robustness of server class memory with the low latency of unbuffered modules, resulting in better data integrity, lower noise, and lower susceptibility to interference over a wider frequency spectrum while still remaining fully compatible with all current motherboards, according to OCZ?s beliefs. ?At the module level, only with a clock buffer delay at 50 picoseconds or less, is it possible to generate loss-less memory clock signals that are not subjected to the impact of noise found in a distributed clock tree,? said Dr. Michael Schuette, Director of Technology Development at OCZ Technology. ?We are very pleased to have OCZ as a partner in this pioneering hi-tech endeavour. Precision clock signals provided by our clock buffers are the key to signal integrity and minimized error rates,? said Desi Rhoden, Executive Vice President of Inphi Corporation. ZB-DDR technology uses Inphi INCU 877 clock buffers with a custom-developed PCB matched to the impedance of the clock buffer. Other details concerning the modules, like pricing and availability, were not revealed at press time. OCZ positions itself as a technology company, which is why not all technologies the firm is probing make it into the market. X-Bit Labs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted October 8, 2004 Veteran Share Posted October 8, 2004 Another version of DDR Ram. Not too bad if you ask me. This will compete with DDR-II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
