14 DAY TRIAL // The DRAM market has been going through a continuous decline for about a year now, or longer, and this means, among other things, that Apacer's newest product will sell for considerably less than it would otherwise have.
Apacer is a company known for, among other things, creating many memory products for a variety of purposes.
Unfortunately, this means that it has been suffering the consequences of continually falling spot prices for memory chips, the same as so many other companies, those that didn't back out of the field altogether that is.
Due to a combination of oversupply (caused by rapid manufacturing process advancement) and low demand, DRAM modules have been selling poorly.
This led to today's conditions, when even 8 GB kits are sold for the metaphorical pittance, especially compared to a year before (or two).
The main consequence of all this was the raising of the standard RAM capacity on PCs from 2 GB to 4 GB.
Another thing that some might notice is that all other implementations of random access memory have been edging closer to a new standard capacity.
The server market is one where RAM modules have always had a somewhat larger capacity limit.
Apacer now showed this by reportedly creating a new server LRDIMM (load-reduced dual in-lane memory module).
Said LRDIMM is of the DDR3 variety and has a full capacity of 16 GB, as well as an operating frequency of 1,333 MHz.
Furthermore, an aluminum heatspreader is present, there to disperse whatever heat may gather up, although the low voltage (1.35V) won't really cause overmuch caloric energy in the first place.
Both Intel-based servers and machines with CPUs from Advanced Micro Devices will be able to benefit from this latest invention on Apacer's part.
Unfortunately, no pricing information was provided in the aforementioned report, nor was it specifically said if the item is already shipping or just getting ready to do so.
