Super Talent Develops Green DDR3 Memory

Eco-Friendly DDR3 DIMM with Ultra-Slim Package

Saves Energy, Materials, Shipping Costs

Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flashstorage solutions and DRAM memory modules, developed a new line of green DDR3 modulesthat use 38% less PCB material and 47% less packaging material than thecompany’s standard DDR3 DIMMs.


In this product line Super Talent has taken two major stepstoward developing more eco-friendly DRAM. Using JEDEC standard schematics SuperTalent developed very low profile (VLP) DDR3 unbuffered DIMMs for use instandard DDR3 based x86 motherboards. These DIMMs use 38% less FR4 material,which is the fiber glass epoxy substrate most PCBs are made of, and one-thirdless copper. These DIMMs have already been tested exhaustively with a varietyof hardware and software to ensure they meet Super Talent's rigid quality standards,and are backed with Super Talent's lifetime warranty.

Super Talent also redesigned their package for these green DIMMsto use about half as much plastic in a clamshell that occupies 57% less volume.These reductions in material usage result in a packaged module that weighs 35%less than a standard DDR3 packaged DIMM, which translates to significantsavings in shipping costs.


“Our goal with these green DDR3 DIMMs is to offer a greenermemory choice for regular desktops that uses less raw materials, produces lessindustrial waste and consumes less fuel to transport with absolutely notradeoffs in functionality or price”, explained Super Talent Director ofMarketing, Joe James. “When multiplied by the hundreds of thousands of memorymodules we produce monthly, this can have an enormous environmental impact.”Super Talent’s first green 1066 and 1333 MHz 1GB and 2GB DIMMs will beginshipping in September.
