The new 2Gb DDR2 Mobile RAM mainly target the smart phone and tablet PCs, which featuring low operating voltage of 1.2V, transfer rate up to 1066Mbps, the 64-bit systems can transfer 8.5GB of data per second, the power consumption reduces by 30% than its own 50nm products.

Elpida plans to ship the new DDR2 as die or for PoP and FBGA packages, the latter package with die stacking technology to provide an extensive line-up of 2Gb to 8Gb of products to meet various customer needs.

It is expected to have sample shipments of the new 2Gb DDR2 memory in August, and mass production are available in September.
