| Samsung Launches Highest Density DDR2 Memory for Servers Samsung Semiconductor announces that it is now mass producing the lowest powered, highest density DDR2 memory available for servers. Samsung's new 2Gb-based DDR2 DRAM offers up to a 50 percent reduction in power at 1.55V, which represents the best power performance for the highest density server memory today. Today, data centers with arrays of servers suffer from rapidly increasing energy costs triggered by power-hungry storage drives and soaring electricity fees. Faced with these cost spikes, IT managers are looking to low-power memory as a key means of driving energy costs downward. The new 2Gb-based fully buffered DIMM DDR2, which doubles the previous highest server chip density, is being produced in 4GB and 8GB modules, using 60 nm (nanometer) process technology, the most advanced production process for DRAM today. Samsung also now offers a 1Gb low-power DDR2 chip, allowing it to provide a complete range of 1GB to 8GB low-power server modules. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
