BOISE — Microsoft and Micron Technology have announced the signing of a six-year agreement in which Micron will supply a majority of the DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM used in Microsoft's Xbox future generation video game console.
The 64 Megabytes of system memory for the Xbox will be composed of 200MHz 2 Meg X 32 DDR SDRAMs with a peak data rate of 400 megabits per second per pin, delivering 6.4 gigabytes per second of bandwidth to the Xbox platform.
"Working with Micron to pack this amount of memory into Xbox will liberate game developers to produce more exhilarating, imaginative, and immersive gameplay for gamers," said Robbie Bach, Microsoft's Chief Xbox Officer.
