Largest Number of DDR3 Memory Components and Modules Validated to Work with Intel's DDR3 Chipsets.SEOUL, South Korea -- Samsung Electronics Samsung Electronics (SEC, Hangul:삼성전자; KSE: 005930, KSE: 005935, LSE: SMSN, LSE: SMSD) is a South Korean multinational corporation and the world's largest and leading electronics and information technology company. Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced memory technology, announced today that 21 of its DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory 3 solutions have been validated on Intel Corporation's reference platform to work with Intel's next generation DDR3 (Double Data Rate - Version 3) chipsets. This is the largest number of DDR3-based solutions to have passed the validation program. Samsung's Intel-validated solutions include 13 modules and eight monolithic devices in combinations of 512Megabit (Mb)/1Gigabit (Gb) densities with speeds of 800 or 1066Mb/ps. "Samsung's DDR3 memory technology is the next step in the evolution of DDR SDRAM See DDR. memory technology," said Pete MacWilliams, Senior Fellow, Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking . "This technology will also provide the bandwidth headroom necessary to support Intel's platform roadmap of the future." Samsung has worked very closely with Intel to develop the most advanced and comprehensive set of DDR3 memory solutions as early as possible in preparation for the next generation of Intel chipsets A set of chips that provides the interfaces between all of the PC's subsystems. It provides the buses and electronics to allow the CPU, memory and input/output devices to interact. Most Intel chipsets, which are contained on two to four chips, also include built-in EIDE support. . "The successful system performance of Samsung's DDR3 memory chips and modules on Intel's desktop platform is a clear sign that DDR3 is well on its way to becoming a key technology for desktops in 2007," said Kevin Lee, Vice President, Memory Marketing, Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. Samsung Electronics will exhibit at Microsoft's WinHEC 2007 Conference on May 14-15 a high-performance desktop PC installed with 8GBs of memory, consisting of four 1333 Mbps 2GB DDR3 memory modules. This 1333 Mbps 8GB configuration is currently the fastest speed and largest density for a DDR3 chip, making it the optimal memory solution for PCs with advanced gaming features. DDR3 memory will provide at least twice the bandwidth of today's primary memory - DDR2 - with data transfer rates now up to 1.6Gb/s. This will enable much improved 3D graphics, which will directly benefit users of the new Vista operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. . DDR3 also improves the efficiency of multi-threading operations, which will enhance the performance of multi-core systems. DDR3 not only allows for higher system performance, but it also uses only 1.5V of power compared to the 1.8V of DDR2, thereby extending battery life in notebooks. To further optimize system thermal management, DDR3 modules can utilize a thermal sensor A device that detects temperature. Thermal sensors are found in many laptops and desktop PCs in order to sound an alarm when a certain temperature has been exceeded. on the dual in-line memory module See DIMM. (storage) Dual In-line Memory Module - Small circuit boards carrying memory integrated circuits, with signal and power pins on both sides of the board, in contrast to single-in-line memory modules (SIMM). (DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module ). With its new DDR components and modules, Samsung continues to lead the industry with cutting-edge DRAM technology after being the first to introduce DDR in 1997, DDR2 in 2001, and DDR3 in 2005. To meet market demand in desktop PCs, Samsung plans to begin full-scale mass production of its DDR3 chips later this quarter.
