Apacer launches DDR4 2133 U-DIMM, setting off another memory revolution

PRESS RELEASE

September 3rd 2014, Taipei, Taiwan - A standard accessory for computer equipment for 8 years since 2007, DDR3 memory is gradually lagging behind the needs for higher performance in industrial and business application. As a result, the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) developed the memory specifications for new-generation DDR4, while Intel launched the DDR4-compatible Haswell-E processor platform in 2014. It is a trend that DDR4 memory will be applied to the new motherboard of commercial products such as personal computers and servers, and further built into smartphones, tablet PCs and other consumer mobile devices.

To adapt to the changing market trend, Apacer newly launches the DDR4 2133 4GB/8GB Unbuffered DIMM, which combines the advantages of both high speed and low power consumption. Compared to its predecessor, its work clock rate is 2,133 Mbps with the transmission bandwidth boosted up to 17GB/s, delivering a 14% improvement in performance. In terms of power consumption, an extra-low voltage of 1.2V delivers a 25% reduction in voltage, concurrently reducing the stand-by power consumption by 50%. "The advantages of this DDR4 help reduce power consumption effectively, maintain a low-temperature system and enhance integral stability while enabling performance improvement," stressed Anderson Chang, PC Application Product Division Product Manager of Apacer indicated.

Apacer's newly launched DDR4 2133 U-DIMM can be 100% compatible with the x99 chipset platform adopted by Intel Haswell-E, creating a reliable and stable operation environment. Anderson Chang said, "With the strong promotion of new DDR4 specifications by JEDEC and Intel, an industry-wide transition of the system memory is inevitable. And that's why Apacer gets well prepared for the market changes and launches the DDR4 2133 4GB/8GB Unbuffered DIMM at such a critical moment."

With more than ten years of experiences in the memory market, Apacer has become one of the global top 10 memory module manufacturers and one of few Taiwan manufacturers with software, hardware and firmware R&D abilities. The newly launched DDR4 2133 Unbuffered DIMM has 100% gone through rigorous environment tests (extended temperature and high/low pressure testing for longer periods of time) and motherboard test. It has successfully passed international OEM vendors' strict tests, demonstrating its ensured compatibility and stability.
