Graphic solutions already fully switched to GDDR5 memory standard, DDR3 chips are used only in cheap adapters. However, the graphics memory DDR3 are in demand in laptops where power consumption is important components and, accordingly, the battery life.
SK Hynix company, has completed work on memory capacity 4 GB GDDR3. Due to the transition to 20 nm lithography technologies Hynix engineers achieved 30% reduction in energy consumption and reduced the operating voltage from 1.5 to 1.35 volts.
Chips operate at an effective frequency of 1800 MHz, and are characterized by bandwidth 3.6 GB / s with 16-bit I / O interface. Mass production of memory SK Hynix will begins in the fourth quarter 2012.
