Rambus and Kingston’s new threaded module design improves data throughput by up to 50% while reducing power by 20%
Rambus and Kingston recently announced that they’ve developed a threaded module prototype using DDR3 DRAM technology, improving data throughput by up to 50 percent, while reducing power consumption by 20 percent compared to conventional modules.
Threaded modules can support 64-byte memory transfers at full bus utilization, resulting in efficiency gains of up to 50 percent when compared to current DDR3 memory modules. In addition, DRAMs in threaded modules are activated half as often as in conventional modules, resulting in a 20 percent reduction in overall module power.
Rambus will showcase a static demonstration of this prototype at the Intel Developer Forum, September 22 – 24, 2009 at Moscone West in San Francisco, CA.
