Strontium's DDR3 Modules Now in India - New Launches

Strontium has introduced its DDR3 memory modules for desktop and notebooks in India. Targeted at enthusiasts and gamers, these high speed DDR3 modules promise higher performance at efficient power consumption parameters.

The new DDR3 modules are available in 1333MHz and 1066 MHz frequency speeds in 1GB and 2GB capacities. Strontium would be offering these DDR3 modules for notebooks and desktops at street price of Rs. 1,289 for 1GB and Rs. 2,349 for 2GB with life time warranty through their regular channel partners.

DDR3 memory module at 1.5 Volts consumes 30 percent less power and ensures longer battery life when compared to DDR2 modules running at 1.8 Volts. The 8-bit deep pre-fetch buffer width employed in DDR3 offers higher bandwidth of up to 1600MHz.
Strontium's modules are made from "dual gate" transistors that reduce leakage of current. These DDR3 modules for desktops and notebooks come with self refresh and auto refresh features, better latencies and enhanced low power features - helpful in notebooks.

However, it should be noted that DDR3 modules are not backward compatible. Any attempt of inserting them in DDR2 sockets will damage the socket as well as the motherboard.
