US-based Micron Technology, a provider of advanced semiconductor solutions, has launched a new line of DDR3 memory modules to be used in notebooks computers.
The memory modules, which are expected to increase the battery life and portability of the notebook computers, are designed by using 1.35 volt 1GB DDR3 components. The modules reportedly provide a bandwidth of 1,333 megabits per second.
The new memory modules are available in approximately 2-gigabytes (GB), with 4GB samples to be released soon.
Robert Feurle, vice president of DRAM marketing at Micron, said: “Across the board, we are making our DRAM more efficient – from both a power and performance perspective – which ultimately empowers users to be more productive.
Our new DDR3 notebook modules offer approximately a 20% reduction in power usage compared to standard 1.5 volt modules while maintaining DDR3’s high performance advantage, enabling a desktop-class computing experience for portable computers.”
