Transcend releases retail packaged DDR3 Modules for Desktop PCs

– Offers faster transfer speeds, better bandwidth and low memory power consumption –

New Delhi, July 17, 2008- Transcend Information Inc. (Transcend), one of the world’s leading memory module manufacturers, is proud to release its retail-packaged DDR3-1066 and DDR3-1333 240-pin DIMMs. DDR3 is the successor to DDR2 memory, and will soon become the industry standard for PC memory modules. Compared to DDR2, it offers faster transfer speeds and better bandwidth with an 8-bit as opposed to 4-bit pre-fetch buffer, and is a perfect match for modern systems using dual or quad-core processors. Moreover, the operating voltage of DDR3 memory modules has been decreased from 1.8V to 1.5V, thus reducing actual memory power consumption by 20-30% compared to systems with DDR2 memory. Transcend’s DDR3-1066 and DDR3-1333 DIMMs are currently available in 1GB and 2GB capacities respectively.

Mr. Austin Huang, Regional Head – Sales, SAARC & APAC, Transcend, said, “We are extremely delighted to introduce our DD3 Memory Modules, which will offer powerful yet energy efficient memory resulting in enhanced performance for Desktop PC users. Transcend’s aXeRam memory will deliver amazing overclocking performance while maintaining rock-solid system stability.”

According to a recent report by DRAMeXchange, the total sales revenue of NAND Flash products worldwide (flash cards and USB flash drives) in 2007 was US$11.5 billion. Of that figure, Transcend was No.5, with total sales revenue of US$ 619 million.

“The very fact that among the top five manufacturers of flash cards and USB flash drives, Transcend was the only brand from Taiwan demonstrates our brand’s fast growing popularity and acceptability worldwide. We aim to break into the Top 3 slots by introducing more innovative products and pushing our sales even further this year,” added Mr. Huang.

Transcend’s DDR3-1066 and DDR3-1333 DIMMs are made of high-quality 128Mx8 DDR3 DRAM chips and use robust PCBs that meet JEDEC (the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) standards. Each chip is selected with the strictest quality and performance standards and is manufactured using small Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) packages with extra contacts to assure better thermal dissipation, electrical efficiency and reliable computing quality at high clock frequencies. In addition, DDR3 memory modules incorporate all-new “Fly-by” architecture that provides more efficient direct communication between the controller and each DRAM chip. This new architecture also includes dynamic On-DIMM Termination to minimize signal reflections at higher speeds.

Transcend memory modules are built to the highest specifications with the finest chips and materials available, and they undergo strenuous laboratory testing to ensure they provide the best performance possible. All Transcend memory modules come with a lifetime warranty and the support of a global service network. Recognized worldwide for their reliable high quality, outstanding performance, excellent compatibility, and stable operation, Transcend memory modules are the obvious choice of discerning power users.
