DDR3 SDRAM Components

DDR3 platform technology continues to innovate Mobility, Digital Home and Digital Enterprise applications to meet end-user needs for memory bandwidth and density, power and thermal management and small form factor.

The Qimonda DDR3 SDRAM devices offer data transfer rates of up to 1.600 Mb/s (Mb per second). This doubles the maximum data transfer rates of today’s DDR2 memories, and significantly boosts the performance of future PC, mobile and server systems. Furthermore, the supply voltage for the memory is reduced from 1.8 V for DDR2 to just 1.5 V for DDR3 targeting a work day equivalent of battery time. This voltage reduction is an important prerequisite for limiting power consumption and heat generation due to the increase in bandwidths.

Advantages

• Higher bandwidth (up to 1.600 Mb/s)
• Performance increased at low power
• Longer battery life
• Enhanced low power features and thermal design
