DDR3 Memory gradually passes to the use of new voltage rating : 1.35 v instead of previous 1.5 v. It is possible to reduce the energy consumption level with new technological processes , on which are produced DDR- 3 microcircuits. Furthermore, thinner technical increase the density of information writing and reduce the prime production cost .
Micron and Nanya companies yesterday stated about the completion of development of two-gigabit memory microcircuits DDR 3-1866, they will release microcircuit on 42 nm technology with the application of copper instead of traditional aluminum. These microcircuits use the default supply voltage, decreased from 1.5 to 1.35 v. according to the producers, this ensures reduction in the energy consumption by 30%. Writing Density allow to create memory modules with 16 Gb volume.
The deliveries of 42 nm DDR3 memory models are planned for the second quarter 2010, series production will be expanded in the second half-year.
