- AMD detail new processor technology
At the VLSI Symposium in Kyoto, Japan, researchers presented detailed information on their creation of transistors delivering some of the highest performance levels ever published.  Faster transistors are key enablers of higher-performance customer solutions, acting as the fundamental building blocks of future microprocessor designs. One set of transistors presented today use fully-depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FDSOI) technology and deliver the highest PMOS (P-channel metal-oxide semiconductor) transistor speed ever published: up to a 30% increase versus previously published transistors. The other set use Strained-Silicon and AMD metal gate technology to deliver 20-25% higher NMOS (N-channel metal-oxide semiconductor) performance relative to conventional Strained-Silicon transistors.

06/11/03 - Micron Delivers Industry's First GDDR3
Micron, has delivered the industry’s first graphics double data rate SDRAM (GDDR3) components to ATI and NVIDIA. GDDR3 targets high-speed point-to-point applications such as high-end PC graphics and gaming platforms requiring ultra fast data rates. This breakthrough tech can provide an aggregate bandwidth of 6.4GB per second per device, achieved with a 1.6Gb per second per pin data rate. GDDR3 is the fastest memory device available today. Fabricated on Micron's leading-edge 0.11µm process technology, GDDR3 provides the highest performance in both per-pin bandwidth and aggregate bandwidth.
