Wonder if this spec will make it easy for embedded systems to catch up. It always seems like they lag behind what's cutting edge. Maybe that's a cost/benefit analysis.

I have a brand new design with DDR2. I can power memory from existing 1.8V rail, no need for more voltage regulators. And 400 MHz is totally ok for me since I can have whole memory bandwidth for myself, no operating system, etc. And my application is very cutting edge for sure in its domain.
I'm assuming LPDDR? I think the goals between the two are a bit different. I think that embedded gets quite messy since it's particularly targeted.

Thanks for letting me know of your experience!

MT47 family. Very normal 1.8V DDR2.
