Micron DDR3 – Groundbreaking Technology; Industry-Leading Support
DDR3 is the next-generation, high-performance solution for CPU systems. And our DDR3 is more than market-leading, it’s award-winning—based on the proprietary 6F² technology and established 78nm process we use to produce the industry’s smallest DDR3 die.
By pushing the envelope in key areas like power consumption, signaling speeds, and bandwidth, our DDR3 brings new levels of performance to desktop, notebook, and server computing. It supports data rates of 1066 to 1333 MT/s, with clock frequencies of 533 to 667 MHz, respectively—effectively doubling the speed of DDR2. DDR3's standard 1.5V supply voltage cuts power consumption by up to 30% over DDR2. Our 1.35V DDR3 Aspen Memory modules reduce power by an additional 20%.
When you’re ready to make a move to DDR3, we’ll be here to help. We’re a leader in this business and expertly equipped to sort through the technical details, recommend the best DDR3 solution for your application, and help you implement it.

Groundbreaking Power Efficiency for High-Performance Laptops
In the past, anyone designing a laptop had to make a critical design decision: low-power, or high-performance? Battery life or throughput? Now, you don’t have to compromise your design—our new SODIMMs deliver all the performance of standard DDR3 modules (1333 MT/s), but draw just 1.35V—a nearly 20% power savings over 1.5V modules.

If your new hardware design is primed for higher performance, we’ve got you covered. Our DDR3 is ready to take on the growing memory demands of next-generation systems. The higher bandwidth is huge, enabling speeds up to 1333 Mb/s. At peak performance, the data transfer rate is equivalent to transferring a 100,000-page document in about one second.
Why not maximize your power savings? The supply voltage for DDR3 has been reduced from 1.8V for standard DDR2 to an energy-efficient 1.5V, cutting power consumption by up to 30%. Then consider that we can put fewer components on a module, which will prolong battery life in notebooks and reduce cooling costs in data centers. Need another reason? Our DDR3 Aspen Memory modules come in even lower, at 1.35V. With so many ways to save, DDR3 is a solution worth moving to.
