Memphis Introduces DDR2 2Gb and 4Gb DDP (Dual-Die-Package) Memory Components in FBGA63, Completing the Newest High-Density DDR2 Product Line - Memphis introduces its newest high density DDR2 components
Memphis is pleased to announce the release of its newest high density DDR2 component, the Dual Die 2Gbit IC. The MEMPHIS 2Gb DDR2 Dual Die Package (DDP) will be available in a x8 configuration and a FBGA 63 package. The latest MEMPHIS IC will be especially attractive for applications with limited board space and 14 address line limitations (A0-A13). MEMPHIS will also use the chip in its VLP Mini-DIMM and SO-RDIMM products for very compact networking and industrial PC applications.
Technically the Memphis 2Gbit Dual-Die Package (DDP) can be addressed like two separate 1Gbit DDR2 DRAMs, while using the space of only one chip on the board. Compared to a regular monolithic DDR2 IC in FBGA 60 package, the Dual-Die products have 3 additional BGA-connections used for the control-signals Chip-Select, ODT and Clock-Enable of the second Die inside.
Concurrently, MEMPHIS is preparing its 4Gbit Dual-Die DDR2 chip, which is expected to also be released in Q4 of 2011. Using the same FBGA 63 package as the 2Gb Dual Die IC, the MEMPHIS 4Gb DDR2 IC will utilize two 2Gb dies in a single package.
With the release of both the 2Gb and 4Gb DDR2 Dual Die, the DDR2 product line from MEMPHIS can fulfill all high density demands of the industrial and embedded computing market, from 2Gbit DDR2 monolithic DRAM (x4, x8, x16), to 2Gbit or 4Gbit DDR2 Dual-Die (x8).

Asetek Liquid Cooled All-In-One PC Prototype Demonstrates Consumers Need Not Sacrifice Performance for Sleek Styling: Asetek, the industry leading supplier of liquid cooling systems for computers, today demonstrated how liquid cooling enables all-in-one PCs to deliver performance on par with the best performing desktop systems while maintaining attractive price points & near silent operation.
The sleek all-in-one (AIO) prototype features a 24” display and uses a liquid cooled Intel Core i7-920 desktop processor and nVidia GTX280M graphics card in an enclosure that, at 58mm, matches the slender profile of Apple’s iMac. This prototype shows how liquid cooling overcomes the thermal limitations that have historically forced PC manufactures to use more costly, lower performance mobile processors in their all-in-one designs.
“The all-in-one segment of the desktop market is projected to see an annual growth rate of 13% over the next 5 years,” said Ben Bajarin, Consumer Technology Analyst at Creative Strategies, Inc. “Achieving the full potential of this attractive form factor requires PC manufacturers to deliver greater performance at ever more attractive price points. Utilizing desktop processors in these devices is a key strategy for improving price and performance. We see liquid cooling as an enabling technology for OEMs seeking to implement this strategy.”
Asetek’s AIO prototype takes advantage of liquid cooling’s inherent ability to efficiently capture and transport large amounts of heat to a location where it can conveniently be exhausted from the system. Heat generated by the 130W CPU and 75W graphics processor is captured within the main enclose and …»Continue Reading!
