G.Skill Announces its ECO Memory: DDR3 at just 1.35V
Taipei, Taiwan - 15th October, 2009 - G.Skill International Co. Ltd., manufacturer of extreme performance memory and solid-state storage with solid quality, has today released its ECO low voltage, 1.35V dual channel DDR3 memory for Intel Lynnfield Core i5 and Core i7 platforms.
Compared to the current DDR3 standard voltage of 1.65V, G.Skill’s ECO memory modules require 18% less VDIMM. This can have a great contribution to power efficiency, environmental friendliness and ultimately saves G.Skill customers money. In addition, the lower voltages decreases a system’s operating temperature, resulting in improved stability. G.Skill’s own internal lab tests have revealed, 1.35V memory modules produce 16% lower temperatures than standard 1.65V memory.
These new low voltage modules will be available via G.Skill’s collaborated distributors and resellers soon and include the following specifications:
- G.Skill DDR3 1333 4GB (2GBx2) CL9-9-9-24 1.35V
- G.Skill DDR3 1333 4GB (2GBx2) CL8-8-8-24 1.35V
- G.Skill DDR3 1333 4GB (2GBx2) CL7-7-7-21 1.35V
- G.Skill DDR3 1600 4GB (2GBx2) CL9-9-9-24 1.35V
- G.Skill DDR3 1600 4GB (2GBx2) CL8-8-8-24 1.35V
- G.Skill DDR3 1600 4GB (2GBx2) CL7-8-7-24 1.35V

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
