The memory standard association JEDEC has completed the development and publication of the DDR3 standard.

The association hopes DDR3 will be accepted by companies due to its improvements in performance and reduced power consumption, compared to DDR1 and DDR2.

DDR3 uses a 1.5V power supply and can work at higher temperatures, among other features such as dynamic on-die terminations, output driver calibration and write leveling.

The capacity of the DDR3 memory modules can reach 8Gb.
