First DDR3 to Provide Substantially Less Self-Refresh Power, Yielding Longer
Battery Life
BOISE, Idaho, 2012-02-09 18:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU) is extending its legacy of memory
leadership by introducing a new product category of low-power DDR3 solutions
targeted at the tablet and ultrathin markets. These 2-gigabit (Gb) and 4Gb
'DDR3Lm' solutions focus on low self-refresh power (IDD6) for longer battery
life, while maintaining the high performance and cost effectiveness of PC DRAM.
The first 2Gb DDR3Lm will provide up to 50 percent self-refresh power savings
versus standard 2Gb DDR3L while driving performance up to -1600 MT/s when
needed. Micron's 4Gb DDR3Lm product delivers the same optimized power
efficiency as the 2Gb part, with a reduced chip count that is ideally suited
for ultrathin and tablet customers. Both 2Gb and 4Gb DDR3Lm will be adopted
into Micron's 30-nanometer (nm) class to further optimize the power and
performance features, with the 4Gb device hitting a 3.7mA IDD6 target in
standby mode, yet still supporting speeds up to -1866 MT/s.
'Power reduction is becoming ever more critical in the fast growing ultrathin
markets. Micron's expertise with traditional PC memory requirements enables
these markets to enjoy high performance targets and optimal cost efficiencies,'
said Robert Feurle, vice president for Micron's DRAM marketing. 'The
combination of our commitment to customer collaboration and dedication to
leading the way in DRAM technologies has proven highly successful, and this new
class of 30nm DRAM continues to deliver on that promise.'
'As computing becomes more and more mobile, longer battery life is increasingly
valuable to end users,' said Geof Findley, Intel's senior memory enabling
manager. 'The reduced standby power consumption of low-power memory is a move
in the right direction.'
Sampling of Micron's new DDR3Lm low-power product line begins now, with volume
production on 30nm class devices expected to begin in 2Q'12. For more
