Samsung announces industry’s first 30nm DDR3 DRAM, low power consumption sweetness

Dubbed the greenest DDR3 DRAM in the industry, Samsung’s newest 30nm DDR3 DRAM features a reduction in power consumption by up to 30% compared to 50nm DRAM modules. To illustrate the efficiency of these modules, the new 30nm modules can be used in a 4GB DDR3 module for a notebook, consuming only three watts per hour. This amounts to only 3% of the total power usage of a notebook, which means that you get more juice from your battery! By now, you must be thinking that with this kind of power efficiency, it must cost a bomb. Well, don’t worry as Samsung announced that the new 30nm production process is in fact more cost-efficient, by up to two times, than the 50nm and 60nm processes used previously.
