OCZ Technology has announced the PC3-8500 and PC3-10666 DDR3 SODIMM memory modules for the upcoming Intel Centrino 2 “Montevina”-based laptops.
“From a technical standpoint, DDR3 memory technology is far superior to DDR2, from the higher frequency range resulting in better overall system performance to the energy savings at idle stemming from loss-less termination to the supply-voltage level and resulting in paramount energy savings in the typical notebook usage pattern”, said Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology.
OCZ’s PC3-8500 SODIMM notebook memory modules feature latencies of 8-8-8-27, while the PC3-10666 SODIMM has 9-9-9-24 timings at a 1.5 volts for lower power consumption. The both series will be available in 2GB modules and 4GB (2x2048MB) dual channel kits.
Currently there is no information on pricing and exact availability dates.
