Strontium intros DDR 3 memory modules

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Strontium Technology introduced the DDR-3 modules for notebooks and desktops for the Indian market.

The DDR-3 modules are available in 1333MHz and 1066MHz speeds as 240 pin UDIMMs and 204 pin SODIMMs in 1 and 2GB densities.

Vivian Singh, CEO, Strontium Technology said, “Currently DDR-3 is servicing the high-end leading edge segment of the market but it is steadily becoming main stream and we should see wider adoption over the next couple of quarters.”

DDR3 memory provides a reduction in power consumption up to 30 percent compared to DDR2 modules due to DDR-3's 1.5v supply voltage, compared to DDR-2's 1.8v. This means longer battery life for notebook user. The 1.5 V supply voltage works well with the Sub 70 Nm technology used in the DDR3 chips. The main benefit of DDR3 comes from the higher bandwidth made possible by DDR3's 8 bit deep pre-fetch buffer, in contrast to DDR2's 4 bit prefetch buffer or DDR's 2 bit buffer.

Ajay Kogta, Country Manager—Indian sub-continent said, “Strontium memory modules are build to the highest specifications with the premium resources and chipsets from major brand like Hynix and Micron. The memory modules therefore manufactured, undergo challenging laboratory tests to ensure trustworthy value, performance and quality.”
