Micron DDR2 Memory Qualified for Use with AMD Phenom Quad-Core Processors
November 23, 2007 // Published as a news service by IHS
Micron Technology Inc. announced that its 1 GB double-data-rate 2 (DDR2) memory components are qualified for use with the Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) new Phenom quad-core processors, targeting data-intensive, high-end computing applications.
"Users can experience a significant increase in computing performance by combining the AMD Phenom processors with Micron's DDR2-1066 memory technology," said Brian Shirley, vice president of the Micron memory group.
Micron said its DDR2-1066 memory components offer a 33% clock speed improvement over DDR2-800 components.
The DDR2-1066 components are produced on the Micron 78 nanometer (nm) 6F2 process and operate at the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association (JEDEC) standard 1.8 volts (V).
The 1 GB component density allows for modules in densities ranging from 512 MB to 2 GB.
