Supertalent does DDR3 SO-DIMMS

THE THREE THINGS WE DEEMED worth mentioning from Supertalent, are its flash drives, flash sticks and DDR3. Nothing earth-shattering, but a lot of solid stuff.

First up is the firm's one line of SSD flash hard drives. There were two new twists here, size and casing. The size has been bumped up from 32 to 64Gb, not at all unexpected, and the casing has gone from plastic to metal. That change was not technical, just that when you are buying something this expensive, it should feel solid.

The next interesting part is one you're unlikely see directly, it is a packaging technology.

This scissor style drive has a very thin PCB, and that is made possible by a technology called Chip on Board (CoB). For the truly dense, this puts the lash chip on the PCB, not in a package then on the PCB. This saves size, making it more, wait for it, dense.

Last up is a DDR3 SO-DIMM. There have been a few floating around before, Samsung had one at IDF, but this is the first production model we have seen so far. µ
