NEW DELHI: Kingston Technology Company Inc. today announced that its DDR3 1066MHz memory modules have been validated on Intel reference platforms (PMO).
“As Kingston prepares for the industry migration to the new DDR3 memory technology, having validation on Intel Reference Platforms is critical to indicating we have a ready solution for PC system manufacturers, motherboard builders and the early adopter community,” said Rajesh Panicker, country manager, Kingston Technology, India.
DDR3's greater bandwidth is a perfect match for systems using dual and quad core processors. The lower voltage of DDR3 (moving to 1.5v versus 1.8v with DDR2) provides a more efficient memory solution for mobile and server platforms, Kingston statement said.
“I am pleased to see that Kingston is developing DDR3 memory technology, which will support Intel’s high-performance desktop platforms in 2007,” said Steve Peterson, director of Client Chipsets, Intel Corporation. “This technology will also provide the bandwidth headroom necessary to support Intel’s product roadmap in the future.”
Initially it would be launched in 512MB and 1GB capacity modules as well as 1- and 2GB memory kits, the new Kingston HyperX and ValueRAM DDR3 1066MHz modules. Kingston is currently sampling modules in limited quantities in capacities up to 1GB to support the next generation computer platforms shipping later in 2007.
