14 DAY TRIAL // Super Talent has decided to play the power efficiency card so it created a new memory module that consumes a fair bit less energy than most of its competitors while also having a height of only 0.72 inches.
The ides of low profile form factors and decreased energy consumption is for memory modules to drive both operational and cooling costs lower.
This makes such products especially appealing in mobile computers and such things as servers and data centers.
The new DDR3 memory module that Super Talent has completed has a capacity of 2 GB and works on a power of 1.35V, instead of the 1.575V of regular modules.
"Sometimes doing the right thing is hard; here is on that is easy,” said SuperTalent COO, CH Lee.
“With our new green DDR3 you can increase your systems performance and save on total costs, while simultaneously reducing your CO2 footprint," he added.
Standard DDR3 modules have a heights of 1.18 inches, which means that this newcomer is quite close to being half that size.
This not only means it has less surface to cool, but that it allows a better airflow on the inside of the system it services.
The other advantage is that, since it needs less material to be manufactured, the memory is actually cheaper than competing products.
All in all, this makes the newcomer a very appealing option for enterprise applications since it not only leads to lower costs of installment, but also lower electrical bills and CO2 emissions.
Of course, there is no rule that says desktop builders can't make use of this eco-friendliness, especially since the low power use does not actually impact on performance.
Super Talent's Green VLP (very low voltage) offer can be found on its official website but, unfortunately, has not yet been updated with the newest model. The newcomer has the name of W13VA2G4LS.
