Things are really starting to heat up in the DDR3 battle for supremacy. The comparison to the DDR2 race for arms almost two years ago now is un-canny. The main supplier for all memory manufacturers is again Micron Technology with another D9 IC variant that is head and shoulders above the rest. The voltages seen on specification sheets are also well above JEDEC standards and climbing. With the added voltage comes added performance, but also added heat. All of these elements are reminiscent of what we saw with DDR2 and like DDR2 the same leaders are starting to emerge from the pack of pretenders.
