DDR3 SO-DIMMsare the memory of chice for next-generation mobile computing applications, with
DDR3-based notebooks expected to be introduced to the market in the first half of 2008.
Qimonda’s 1GB and 2GB SO-DIMMs enable customers to make full use of the significantly reduced
power consumption and increased bandwidth of DDR3. The 1GB and 2GB SO-DIMM modules consist of 1Gbit
DDR3 components manufactured by Qimonda in 75nm technology and offer a significant reduction in
terms of power consumption, as they take full advantage of DDR3’s 1.5V supply, compared to 1.8V
with DDR2. By incorporating additional optimizations, DDR3 SO-DIMMs from Qimonda even reduce the
power consumption by at least 30 and up to more than 50 percent compared to today’s mainstream DDR2
modules, depending on the SO-DIMM capacity.
Furthermore, Qimonda's DDR3 SDRAM devices offer data transfer rates of up to 1.600 Mb/s (Mbit
per second). This doubles the maximum data transfer rates of today’s DDR2 memories,
and significantly boosts also the performance of mobile PCs.
