High definition has been making big waves since last year. Both the HD-DVD and Blu-ray disc formats have been gaining huge sales in the movie industry. In light of these recent developments, I began to wonder if consumers are ready to make 1:1 copies of their hard earned BD’s and HD-DVD’s.
AnandTech demonstrates in its article whether or not it’s worth upgrading from DDR2 to DDR3 memory at the moment. It has only been three years and Intel is once again leading the way for DDR3 support with its upcoming P35 chipset, the successor to the P965 chipset. P35 motherboards will be introduced on May 21st and its release will follow on June 4th, although some retailers already have them available since early May. So the question remains. Is it worth upgrading to DDR3 memory come June 4th? We have yet to see.
Later this year in Q3, we will be seeing the fruits of its labour in the consumer market and it won’t just be another refresh of the Athlon 64 range, it’ll be an entirely new branding under the name ‘Phenom’.
