Elpida Goes Green With Their Speedy New Mobile RAM

Wide IO Mobile RAM is a next-generation random access memory chip that satisfies needs for speed and energy efficiency life in mobile devices. The growth in performance of smartphones and tablets in recent years has created a demand for better DRAMs and better transfer rates, but usually there is a critical trade-off in speed and power consumption: more speed = more power consumption. Until now.

Elpida Innovates Mobile Ram: Giving the Consumer More Speed AND Better Battery Life.

The golden solution is that Wide IO Mobile RAM increases the I/O width by using x512-bit, a data width that, in size, is 10-fold the width for existing DRAMs, which enables a data transfer rate of 12.8GB/second per chip! Even more exciting is the chip does this all while operating at a battery saving speed of 200MHz. The reduced DRAM MHz speed results in around 50% less power consumption compared with DDR2 Mobile RAM (LPDDR2), currently the leading DRAM choice for mobile devices, configured at the same transfer rate.

Elpida Introduces LPDDR3 Mobile RAM

LPDDR3 is another in Elpida’s new family of next-gen mobile memory. This chip transfers data twice as fast as LPDDR2. Just one LPDDR3 chip has a data transfer rate of 6.4 GB/second  or 12.8GB/second  based on a two-chip configuration for higher-end mobile devices. When compared with LPDDR2 at identical speed the new LPDDR3 uses 25% less power, extending the battery life of the device.

2012 IS THE TIME! Upgrade Your Mobile Ram.

With 4-gigabit Wide IO Mobile RAM and 4-gigabit DDR3 Mobile RAM (LPDDR3) sample shipments starting. Elpida has plans to begin mass production shipments in 2012. Also, both of these chips will play key roles in developing two-layer 8-gigabit and four-layer 16-gigabit high-density packages for  the product showcase. Imagine all this Green Speed at your fingertips, on your next stock phone! Or even better, right on your rooted mobile device.Ping Blog

Elpida’s Wide IO Mobile RAM and DDR3 Mobile RAM (LPDDR3) has already begun shipment and will no doubt be seen on upcoming mobile devices this year in 2012.
