Qimonda Teams With Supermicro for Green Computing, Demonstrates 1.5 Volt 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM at Supercomputing Conference

Business Wire, Nov 12, 2007

RENO, Nev. -- Qimonda AG, a leading supplier of memory products, is teaming with Super Micro Computer, Inc., (NASDAQ:SMCI) to demonstrate energy efficient memory technology for high-performance computing here at the SC 07 International Supercomputing Conference. Qimonda is supplying the industry's first 1.5V, 800 MHz DDR2 Fully Buffered Dual-In-Line Memory Modules (FB-DIMMs), which reduce supply voltage by nearly one-fifth without any performance loss, in several systems on display in Supermicro's booth (#1229), including the SuperServer 6015TW-INF and the SuperServer 6025W-NTR .

In tests performed by Supermicro, system-level power savings using Qimonda modules operating at 800 MHz were as much as 20 percent in a fully loaded system, compared to a system operating with 1.8V supply voltage modules. This translates to energy savings of up to 40 watts on memory power consumption per system. That lower heat dissipation requirement also provides additional cost savings and reduces the potential for heat-related system failures.

"Supermicro's green computing initiative is all about helping its customers reduce the cost of ownership for the data center and helping to preserve the environment for future generations," said Alex Hsu, chief sales and marketing officer (CSMO) of Supermicro. "Qimonda has a reputation for delivering lower power memory solutions, which makes them a key vendor in our own drive to Keep IT Green."

"Reducing operating voltage often has meant lowering clock speed, which in turn cuts performance," said Michael Buckermann, senior vice-president of Qimonda's computing business unit. "Qimonda is the first DRAM supplier to come to market with modules able to both operate at 1.5 V and run at 800 MHz. By achieving power reduction with no performance penalty, we are helping systems providers reduce the amount of overall power consumed, increase the lifetime of their systems and reduce the total cost of ownership for user organizations."

Qimonda is supplying Supermicro with dual-rank 2GB DDR2 FB-DIMMs for the SC07 demonstration. These modules are part of Qimonda's extensive DIMM portfolio, which extends from devices optimized for mobile and desktop systems to dual- and quad-rank 8GB DD2 FB-DIMMs for high-performance workstations and servers, as well as next generation DDR3 DRAMs.
