Thread: Hynix is 1Gbit DDR3 chips

The company introduced the Hynix 54nm 1Gbit chips Memory DDR3 with low power consumption. Manufacturer says that the new memory works with an input voltage of 1.5V, that is the same as the first generation of Hynix 1Gbit DDR3. However, it reduces energy consumption by 30%, which makes the new memory is suitable for use in virtualized systems, processing centers and data storage, servers and supercomputers.

According to the Hynix, the new memory chips will be actively used in mobile devices, which are particularly important for lower energy consumption, which extend battery life. As prices DDR3 chips and DDR2 chips is approximately equal, we can expect that soon DDR2 almost completely withdraws from the market, at least in the mobile segment.
