2Gb DDR3 at 42nm is out

Micron and Nanya say 30nm is on the way

MEMORY MAKERS Micron and Nanya have lifted the kimono on their co-developed 2Gb DDR3 chip that uses copper-based 42nm DRAM process technology.

Their engineers wiped the grease off their paws and said that they were also working on a 30nm class process at Micron's R&D lab in Boise.

We are expecting to see 42nm 2Gb DDR3 memory in the second calendar quarter of 2010. Micron and Nanya said that they will be flogging the product to the masses in the second half of the year.

Looking at the specifications that Micron and Nanya sent us, it appears that their 42nm process makes 1.35V the standard compared to 1.5V with previous generations.

This would mean that in high performance computers you should see power savings of up to 30 per cent.

Micron and Nanya's jointly-developed 2Gb 42nm DDR3 device is capable of reaching up to 1866Mbps. The small die size coupled with the 2Gb density of the 42nm DDR3 device will enable module sizes up to 16GB. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
