Feature Summary
- DDR3 SDRAM components
- Introduction of asynchronous RESET pin
- Support of system-level flight-time compensation
- On-DIMM mirror-friendly DRAM pinout
- Introduction of CWL (CAS write latency) per clock bin
- On-die I/O calibration engine
- READ and WRITE calibration
- DDR3 modules
- Fly-by command/address/control bus with on-DIMM termination
- High-precision calibration resistors
- Are not backwards compatible—DDR3 modules do not fit into DDR2 sockets; forcing them can damage the DIMM and/or the motherboard
- Technological advantages compared to DDR2
- Higher bandwidth performance, up to 2133 MT/s standardized
- Slightly improved latencies, as measured in nanoseconds
- Higher performance at low power (longer battery life in laptops)
- Enhanced low-power features

Famous quotes containing the words feature and/or summary:
“Knavery seems to be so much a the striking feature of its inhabitants that it may not in the end be an evil that they will become aliens to this kingdom.”
—George III (1738–1820)
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
