A-Data will be announcing DDR3 modules at Computex 2006 on June 6, 2006, after only two weeks from the moment AMD launched its DDR2 supporting socket AM2 processors.

DDR3 is the DDR2 successor and promises greater bandwidth and lower power. DDR3-1066 MHz modules will be shown at Computex at the A-Data booth. DDR3 is not limited at 1066 MHz, it has a lot more headroom available. Modules are expected to ramp up to 1600 MHz in the future.

DDR3 Memory modules will have 240 pins , 120 on each side and one notch at the 48th pin from the left of the module. This way, the memory module will not be inserted by mistake in a DDR or DDR2 slot.
