Super Talent has announced it is currently manufacturing the world’s first over-clocked 4GB laptop memory modules running at 1600MHz.
The new SO-DIMM modules are designed for use in gaming notebooks and mobile workstations.
The memory is crucial for notebook’s performance.
Samsung has announced that it is mass producing 8GB DDR3 memory modules for laptops and mobile workstations.
According to Samsung, the 8GB high density 40-nanometer module operates at 1333MHz and uses 1.5 volts of power, providing “about a 67 percent savings in power consumption over 1.8V DDR2″. Also, 8GB DDR3 memory consumes 53 percent less power than two 4GB DDR3 modules.
Hewlett-Packard revealed it will not use Intel Turbo Memory technology – based on embedded flash memory module – in any of its Centrino Pro notebooks, ZDNet UK reports.
The Turbo Memory, code-named “Robson”, is one of the most highlighted features of the latest Intel Centrino Pro notebook technology and “Santa Rosa” platform. It is designed to improve a laptops’ start-up time and performance under Windows Vista operating system by utilizing its ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive technologies. But, HP’s internal tests show that Turbo Memory “doesn’t give you a lot” reportedly.
Memory maker Kingston Technology announced it is first to offer a full production launch of laptop-use 2GB 533 MHz and 667 MHz ValueRAM SO-DIMMs concurrent with the release of new 800 MHz ValueRAM SO-DIMMs.
“The new larger capacity, high-performance memory modules are designed to meet the growing demands of notebook computers and miniPCs, Also, the faster speed SO-DIMMs are in preparation for the industry migration to the 800 MHz platform”, the Kingston’s press release says.
