ADATA’s Energy Efficient DDR3L RDIMM Server Memory Runs at 1600MHz

Memory maker ADATA has recently announced the introduction of a new line of high performance RDIMM memory for cloud business solutions, which was designed to deliver improved levels of energy efficiency.

The new DDR3L DIMMs require just 1.35V in order to operate and are available as 4GB or 8GB modules supporting speeds starting at 1066/1333MHz and going up to 1600MHz.

According to ADATA, these RDIMMs (registered DIMMs) were tested to operate with a wide range of Intel and AMD processors, including Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Interlagos chips.

Furthermore, customers who require improved data reliability can opt for ADATA’s 8GB memory modules which are also available with ECC error correction.

As far as timings are concerned, these depend on the speed the memory is rated to run at, and DDR3 1066/1333 modules have been configured to run at CL 9, while the faster 1600MHz parts have somewhat looser timings as they work at CL 11.

“Reduced energy consumption is becoming increasingly important to our customers, not just in order to cut costs, but as a route to achieve sustainable business growth on a broad scale,” said Jacky Yang, product manager at ADATA.

“The entrance of these new Server DIMM modules are evidence of ADATA’s commitment to reduced costs and sustainable operating models for large data centers worldwide,” concluded the company’s rep.

Availability and pricing info wasn’t provided by the maker and a quick Google search hasn’t returned any results either, meaning that these have yet to arrive into retail.

In addition to its new DDR3L memory, ADATA has also announced the introduction of a new series of regular voltage (1.5V) server RDIMMs, which are available in 4GB and 8GB capacities with optional ECC support.
