Elpida Memory Inc has developed a top-tier power efficient 1Gb DDR3 SDRAM, capable of operating at an ultra-fast speed of 2Gbps. By reducing power consumption to around the lowest possible level the new high-performance environmentally friendly DRAM marks an important milestone in Elpida's development of eco-products.

The DDR3-1600 is said to be the industry's fastest standard DDR3 SDRAM, which supports a data transfer rate of up to 1600Mbps while operating at 1.5V. The DDR3 SDRAM uses 35% less operating current compared with the company's existing products. Also, in response to demand for next-generation low-power products, the device can operate at 1600Mbps using 1.35V.

The DDR3 SDRAM is based on advanced 65nm process technology. Sample shipment will start in September with mass production expected to begin in October.
