Sony PS3 to Use Samsung 512Mb XDR DRAM

May 23, 2005 By Ian Bell

The Samsung 512Mb XDR DRAM can transmit data with up to 9.6 GigaBytes per second, 12 times faster than DDR400 memory and 6 times faster than leading RDRAM (PC 800) devices.

It uses advanced 90-nanometer memory technology to achieve a peak operating speed of 4.8Gbps at 1.8 volts.

The memory device targets high-performance broadband applications that need advanced digital imaging or 3D graphics, such as the latest game consoles, digital TVs, high-end servers and premium workstations.

XDR DRAM from Samsung will be adopted for Sony Computer Entertainment’s next generation computer entertainment system, PLAYSTATION3.

eminem_shot-yaa at 9:53am 4th November 2009 yh i know i just brought my ps3 slim and it is just the next generation i mean look at it not from the outerside the innerside it has everythinh but its not that good looking thouhgh but i prefer it over the fat because it doesent get fingerprints and dust everywhere.
eminem_shot-yaa at 11:35am 3rd November 2009 yes that is what i was thinking but from now on the past is coming to a end meaning hd dvd and normal dvd are going and bluray is the next generation. but xbox 360 is really good like i said i had 1 but it broke oh well when i checked ps3 had more then 2 times the power of the xbox 360 because of its cell procesor and its rsx gpu i was just curios and they say that ibm use cell procesors in supercomputers then ps3 is a bargin for a games console it trully is. by the way do u have psn.
1. Dan Gaul at 10:25pm 3rd November 2009 Xbox has more games, but gets the red ring of death frequently. I'm on my 3rd one. I want to like my PS3 so much. It has such huge potential.
eminem_shot-yaa at 7:29am 3rd November 2009 so does the ps3 have better ram then the 360 im thinking it does because xdr cand do alot with a little i read that somewhere i cant remember where though i just want to be sure about this because i just broke my 360 and going to buy a ps3 slim and im not sure really i just want to know which is better is every aspect even the ram lol
1. Ian Bell at 8:37am 3rd November 2009 I think the PS3 does have better RAM. The Xbox 360 has better games though, and more of them.
eminem_shot-yaa at 1:12pm 1st November 2009 but what is this compared to xbox 360 which type of ram does a xbox 360 have and would ps3 have an edge over xbox 360 in anyway because of its ram?
1. Ian Bell at 5:04pm 1st November 2009 The Xbox 360 uses: 512 MB GDDR3 RAM (700 MHz) (Up to 512 MB GDDR3 system RAM (700 MHz) plus 10 MB embedded DRAM (eDRAM) frame buffer), shared with GPU. The PS3 uses 256 MB XDR RAM (3.2GHz) dedicated and 256MB GDDR3 (700MHz) for the graphics.
