Micron intros memory for AMD's K10

Micron announced the availability of DDR2 memory chips that are manufactured using a 7 8 nanometre process.

The bandwidth of these modules is 1066 Megabits per second, and enough to earn DDR2-1066 ranking, but keeping the chips at 1.8V, which is the stock voltage for DDR2-800 - will keep the compatibility with massive majority of motherboars on the market, including ones that will not allow you to change the voltage.

Intel's own offerings will also profit from this memory, since both the current Core 2 and upcoming Penryn will benefit from running system memory at 1.07 GHz, in 1:1 sync ratio with the current line-up, and a boost of bandwidth by 34% per memory channel. This means integrated graphics just might get a boost as well.

Expect these babies in a lot of memory modules from 512MB to 2GB, or should we say 2x512, 2x1024 and 2x2048 memory kits. µ
