Crucial has introduced the 8Gbyte DDR3-1333MHz UDIMM (unregistered dual in-line memory module) for desktop and SODIMM (small outline-DIMM) for laptop memory modules to support the latest second generation Intel Core i7 and i5 processors.
The modules are claimed to allow for high-capacity memory in small form factors such as laptops, all-in-one PCs, and home theater PCs. Traditionally, many laptops have been limited to one or two DIMM slots for system memory needs. As form factors continue to shrink, providing less space on the motherboard to populate memory, an 8Gyte laptop module is suitable for portable form factors that have one DIMM slot available. These 8Gbyte SODIMM modules are 1.35V, compared to their standard 1.5V counterparts, says the company.
Both the desktop and laptop memory modules are Intel-validated, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant. They are available in kits ranging from 16 to 24Gbyte.
