TOKYO, November 4, 2003 - Elpida Memory, Inc (Elpida) today announced that it has shipped samples of the industry's first 2 Gigabyte DDR2 registered dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) geared towards delivering high-density, high-speed performance, as well as low-power consumption, to the high-end server market. 2 Gigabyte is the highest density DDR2 module currently available for servers and is unmatched in the industry in terms performance. The modules also support 1.8V operation, thus offering a 50% power reduction over DDR at 400 Megabits per second (Mbps) operation. The new 2 Gigabyte module (PC2-4300) is the latest addition to Elpida's comprehensive DDR2 registered DIMM product family that also includes 512 Megabyte and 1 Gigabyte densities.
"High-end servers demand the unique high-density, high-speed, power-efficient performance made possible by Elpida's PC2-4300 registered DIMMs," said Jun Kitano, director of Technical Marketing at Elpida Memory (USA). "As a leader in DDR2 technology, Elpida offers its customers the highest data transfer rates, coupled with highest system performance available for server platforms."
Elpida's new DDR2 DIMMs transfer data at a rate of 4.3 Gigabytes per second, and they are based on 512 Megabit DDR2 SDRAM devices that operate up to 533 Mbps. The modules contain thirty-six 512 Megabit DDR2 FBGA-packaged devices that have been stacked and mounted on the DIMMs using Elpida's unique stacking technology. The modules are organized as 256M words x 72-bits x 2 ranks, and they support Error Checking and Correction (ECC) necessary for high-end server applications. By implementing 0.11-micron process technology with advanced circuit design, Elpida produces high yields of its DDR2 SDRAM devices, thus allowing stable production of the 2 Gigabyte DDR2 module. Mass production of the new module is scheduled for Q2 2004.
