Samsung Electronics has announced that the first 30nm-class DDR3 DRAM memory module, 2GB is storage capacity has completed customer evaluations and get this, it’s green, not as in color but as in environmentally friendly.
The 30nm DDR3 DRAM is said to be the most power efficient DRAM solution available today and will start to see its way into mainstream consumer electronic devices as well as high end server systems. According to Samsung’s own benchmarks, power consumption drops by about 30% with the new 2GB 30nm DRAM as compared to the older 50nm DRAM. To put the power efficiency into perspective, it’s believed that when the new notebooks start to integrate this technology, they will require 3 watts per hour with a 4GB 30nm memory module. This amounts to about 3% of the total power requirement of a notebook.
We should start to see the new Samsung memory modules in the second half of 2010.
