Micron readies 2Gb DDR2 memory for 'Oak Trail' Atom-powered devices

Intel buddy and well-known memory maker Micron Technology has confessed to preparing a nice little 2Gb (Gigabit) DDR2 DRAM which is specifically aimed to be used in tablets and netbooks based on the next-gen Atom platform codenamed 'Oak Trail'.

Micron's 2Gb memory chip is manufactured on 50nm technology, can be used fro 1GB to 4GB UDIMMs, operates at 800 MHz, and is powered at 1.55V.

"Micron's 2Gb 50nm DDR2 device is the ideal memory companion for Intel's upcoming Intel Atom processor-based 'Oak Trail' platform," said Robert Feurle, Micron's vice president of DRAM Marketing. "Given its low-power demands, maximum density and high performance, it is well-suited for the thriving tablet market. Additionally, Micron is committed to this 50nm product line and looks forward to providing ongoing support for customers' innovations around this technology."

Micron is going to start sampling the 2Gb DDR2 DRAM in September and kick off mass production in Q4.
