April 2008
Elpida Memory, Inc. announced that it has received Intel's validation for its next-generation main memory DDR3 SO-DIMM. The upcoming Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology mobile platform is supported by Elpida's DDR3 SO-DIMM production capabilities.
Since completing development of its DDR3 SDRAM in August 2005, Elpida began delivering DIMM samples at the end of 2005 and has been developing faster high-speed technologies. In May 2007 Elpida received Intel's desktop platform validation of its DDR3 main memory. Now Elpida has received Intel's mobile platform validation for its DDR3 SO-DIMM.
"We are very pleased to have Elpida's DDR3 technology validated on Intel's next generation mobile platform" said Ali Sarabi, Director of Industry Initiatives & Pathfinding at Intel Corporation. "DDR3 memory technology is especially beneficial in mobile systems as it provides better performance while reducing power."
Elpida is now shipping DDR3 for high-end desktop PCs and will start shipments to notebook PC and server vendors making the transition from DDR2 to DDR3. Elpida's DDR3 memory products are recognized for their high-speed, low power consumption, stable operation and mass production capabilities. They are already shipped in large volumes as standard-use products to makers of high-end desktop PC & Work Station systems. Major notebook customers are validating Elpida's SO-DIMM.
As a leading vendor of DDR3 Elpida has a diverse line-up of DDR3 products. Elpida will make it possible to support not only DDR3-1066/800 but also in the near future DDR3-1600/1333 products. DDR3 shipments are likely to increase based on Elpida's plans to introduce improved high-speed, low-cost next-generation products in summer 2008 and 50nm process products in 2009.
