Perfect for every computing environment
Developed in 2005, Samsung’s industry-first DDR3 is the most used system solution, from PCs and home appliances, to automotive and medical devices.

High speed and performance
- Double the bandwidth of DDR2Samsung DDR3's enhanced bandwidth and reliabilty drives a broad range of applications such as notebooks, desktops, and industrial solutions including automotive, all at double the speed of DDR2.

Low power, efficient DRAM solution
- Up to 30% reduction in power consumption versus DDR2Samsung's industry-first 30 nm class DRAM consumes less power, lowering the TCO with a 30% reduction in power consumption versus the previous generation.
