Hynix validates DDR3 memory modules

Hynix validated new DDR3 products, which are a 1Gigabit DDR3 SDRAM component manufactured on the 80nm process technology, 1Gigabyte and 2Gigabyte DDR3 Unbuffered-DIMMs. These devices boast operating speeds of 800MHz and 1066MHz at 1.5V power supply. These speeds are offered in latency combinations of 5-5-5 and 6-6-6 for 800MHz and 7-7-7 for 1066MHz.

DDR3 is the next generation DRAM interface which is expected to succeed the current mainstream DDR2 products. Demand for DDR3 is expected to emerge towards the end of the year. According to market research firm iSuppli, DDR3 will account for 25% of total DRAM shipments by the end of 2008 and dominate the market by 2010.

Mass production of the 1Gb DDR3 on the 80nm line will begin in the third quarter of this year. Hynix plans to manufacture the product on the new 66nm process beginning in late 2007.
