14 DAY TRIAL // Now that it has more advanced memory chips to work with, Transcend decided it was time to take some and make some new memory offerings out of them, thus creating three modules, each with a capacity of 4GB.
With each transition to a small manufacturing process, memory chips get smaller and more power-efficient.
This allows new memory modules to be both more capacious and less power hungry than other those that came before them.
Transcend has now begun to use 2Gb chips of DDR3 memory based on the 40nm manufacturing process technology.
With them, it built three distinct memory modules with a capacity of 4GB and which are intended to be used in both notebooks and desktops.
The three modules in question are known by their codenames of JM1333KLN-4G, JM1066KSN-4G, JM1333KSN-4G.
The JM1333KSN-4G SO-DIMM pairs the 4GB with a latency of 9-9-9 and a frequency of 1,333 MHz.
The second product, known as JM1066KSN-4G, has a clock speed of just 1,066 MHz but is a SO-DIMM with 7-7-7 timings.
Finally, the JM1333KLN-4G is an unbuffered DIMM with a clock of 1,333 MHz and 9-9-9 timings.
All three of them share the same operating voltage, of 1.5V to be exact, though their prices are, of course, different.
To be more specific, the JetRam JM1333KLN-4G, JM1066KSN-4G and JM1333KSN-4G sell for 71.30 Euro, 66.04 Euro and, again, 66.04 Euro. All of them are backed by a lifetime warranty.
“Thanks to the adoption of cutting-edge high capacity 2Gbit DDR3 chips using the latest 40nm-class DRAM manufacturing process, Transcend’s new DDR3 modules can effectively increase a computer's total memory capacity while reducing power consumption,” states the press release.
“These high-density chips not only bring the benefits of increased capacity and power efficiency, but also help prolong system lifetime--a crucial factor for server hardware,” the announcement added.
