Qimonda AG was created in April 2006 when Infineon decided to move the memory section to another company. Since then Qimonda has established itself with Infineon’s reputation backing it up. One of Qimonda’s largest customers is Microsoft as it delivers GDDR3 memory chips for Xbox 360. It seems that the GDDR3 technology is the one it will focus on as, according to The Inquirer, Qimonda hasn’t even looked at the GDDR4 market but is focusing completely on further developing GDDR3 and will then move on to GDDR5. Today, we’ve already reached speeds at 1.0GHz with GDDR3, which is the same frequency ATI has on its GDDR4 memory used by X1950 XTX, but the goal is to reach 1.2GHz (2.4GHz) with this technology.
