Crucial 8GB DDR4 2133 MT/s (PC4-17000) CL15 DR x 8 Unbuffered SODIMM 260pin More speed. More battery life. More memory capacity. Fuel your next-gen laptop. In the ever-changing world of technology, any component more than five years old is usually in need of an update. At seven years old & counting, that’s where DDR3 memory is at: laptops can only do so much with it. Since the introduction of DDR3 memory technology in 2007, processors have doubled in capability, SSDs have revolutionized throughput, & graphics cards have drastically increased frame rates, leaving memory as a limiting factor. With Crucial DDR4 SODIMMs, crush the DDR3 memory bottleneck & unlock a new standard of performance. More Energy Efficient Extend battery life by using less power. Operating at just 1.2V compared to 1.5V for standard DDR3 memory, Crucial DDR4 SODIMMs consume 20% less voltage than standard DDR3 technology. Crucial DDR4 SODIMMs also contain other efficiency features, for an overall power reduction of up to 40%.1 More Density Pack more memory into your laptop than ever before. Crucial DDR4 SODIMMs debut in densities up to 8GB, & as DDR4 technology develops, modules are projected to hit 32GB — allowing you to install twice as much memory as you could in a DDR3 system. Since laptops only have 1-2 memory slots, high-density Crucial DDR4 SODIMMs allow you to overcome this limitation & install more memory for faster mobile performance. More Speed Load applications faster & run demanding programs without lag. Crucial DDR4 SODIMMs debut at 2133 MT/s —more than 30% faster than DDR3 modules.1 More Bandwidth Effortlessly multitask between apps & empower your system to fire on all cylinders. Crucial DDR4 SODIMMs increase memory bandwidth by over 30%, allowing your system to handle more data at once. Crucial DDR4 SODIMMs are optimized for next-gen platforms, allowing you to maximize bandwidth. Product performance & efficiency improvements are noted as comparisons between DDR3 & DDR4 memory technology. As of May 2014, standard DDR3 memory achieved speeds of 1600 MT/s & operated at 1.5V, compared to DDR4-2133, which will operate at 1.2V. When voltage reductions & all other energy-saving DDR4 features are factored in, DDR4 modules are projected to consume up to 40% less power. As DDR4 technology matures, speeds & bandwidths are projected to respectively hit 3200 MT/s & 25.6 GB/s – twice what was possible on DDR3 technology.
