Double Data Rate SDRAM is today's standard for high-performance servers, desktops and portable PCs. SAMSUNG has led the industry with cutting-edge SDRAM, being the first to introduce DDR in 1997, DDR2 in 2001 and DDR3 in 2005. Based on the JEDEC standard, SAMSUNG's high-performance main memory solutions take advantage of the company's leadership in engineering and advanced semiconductor process technology.

Higher Performance with Lower Power Consumption

• Data Rate per pin up to 1600Mbps
• 1.5V VDD & VDDQ to reduce power consumption
• DQ shielding, self calibration and fly-by topology for better signal control

SAMSUNG offers the industry's largest selection of fully validated advanced SDRAM, including both today's standard, DDR2, and next-generation DDR3 products. DDR3 memory will provide at least twice the bandwidth of DDR2, with data transfer rates at up to 1.6Gb/s and eventually beyond. This will enable much-improved 3D graphics, which will directly benefit users of the new Windows Vista operating system.

DDR3 also improves the efficiency of multi-threaded operations, enhancing the performance of today's new multi-core systems. DDR3 not only allows for higher system performance, but it also uses only 1.5V of power compared to DDR2's 1.8V, thereby extending battery life by approximately 20 minutes.

For main memory, DDR3 is expected to become the memory of choice to accompany the growing market for dual- and multi-core processors and other high-performance products. In a PC industry that is now in transition to Windows Vista, there is a well-documented need for enhanced memory and graphics support to enable rich new feature sets that improve the overall user experience. SAMSUNG DDR3 SDRAM is the optimal memory for this new generation of powerful hardware. Whether installed in new-generation PCs, high-performance workstations or servers, SAMSUNG DDR3 delivers the unbeatable combination of high bandwidth and density with lower power consumption.
