Low-power DDR3 SO-DIMMs render high performance

Aeneon, the channel and retail brand of Qimonda, introduces its new DDR3 small outline DIMMs (SO-DIMMs) which provide power saving and high-performance to the industry's first DDR3 notebooks based on the Intel Centrino 2 processor technology.

Aeneon is among the first retail memory brands to offer 1Gbit and 2Gbit DDR3-1066 SO-DIMMs to the market. The modules use low-power 1Gbit DDR3 components and feature competitive latencies of 7-7-7-21 at standard DDR3 voltage of 1.5V—ideal for mobile computing. The DDR3 SO-DIMMs will be made available worldwide in single retail package this August.

"We are pleased to offer the DDR3 memory technology to the retail market enabling a wider group of users to experience the new Intel Centrino 2 technology," said Carsten Gatzke, VP, channel and retail business unit, Qimonda. "DDR3 will be the key memory architecture for several years. With this introduction, Aeneon shows its commitment to provide a broad portfolio of advanced memory products to the retail."

These new DDR3 modules, together with the high density DDR2-800 SO-DIMMs, are part of Aeneon's portfolio of retail DRAM solutions tailored for the new Intel Centrino 2 platforms.
