Samsung today unveiled a potential breakthrough in its Green DDR3 memory by developing its first examples built on a 30 nanometer (nm) process. The size shrink allows 2 gigabit (256MB) chips that use 30 percent less power than 50nm DDR3. In a typical notebook, Samsung estimates that a 4GB RAM stick with the new memory would consume just 3W of energy each hour and extend battery life that much further.
