Samsung has taken an important step in green computing by developing a low-voltage RAM for servers. In comparison to the traditional 16 GB double data rate-3 (DDR3), this module 1.25V DDR3 RDIMM module is 15 percent less energy consuming.
Samsung’s new DDR3 module is based on 30 nm process technology and is more power efficient and high performing than 1.5V or 1.35V versions. These modules perform at a low voltage of 1.25V making them an edge ahead of the previous modules.
For the comparison of the 1.25V modules with the 1.35V modules the similar bandwidth up to 1,333 Mbps was considered. This Samsung DDR3 RAM is a 30-nm process technology using 1.25V DDR3 RDIMM module gives 60 percent savings in comparison to the 40-nm process technology using 1.35V DDR3 chips.
These power saving modules will find area of applications in data centers and enterprise server stations for reducing energy consumption costs and power saving. According to Samsung Electronics, these 1.25V DDR3 RDIMM RAMS will be mass produced in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB densities and will be started for from production next year.
This green technology will be enunciated by Samsung in the Asia Pacific Datacenter Leadership Council which is to be on 16th of September in Singapore, where all the officials of leading companies will be present.
