ServerWorks announces DDR Grand Champion chipset
According to The Register, Serverworks' new chipset "trumps Rambus" because the 2way/4way chipset adds support for the PCI-X bus and, "with memory throughput at 5GBytes/s, offers double the throughput of dual channel RDRAM Rambus chipsets such as the i840." The chipset will support 32GB of RAM (PC1600) and other features including error correction and autodetection of failed DIMMs.
Grand Champion will be the only chipset supporting Intel's new Itanium Foster server chip arriving in Q3 and ServerWorks' first DDR chipset. It is also the first DDR chipset to support an Intel server processor. ServerWorks has long worked with Intel Corp. but the two companies are now preparing to compete in the server chipset market as, next year, Intel is launching its first DDR server chipset Plumas.
