Elpida's DDR3 SO-DIMM Receives Intel's Validation

Mobile Computing Platform Start-Ups Fully Supported with Elpida's
DDR3 Mass Production Capabilities
TOKYO--(Business Wire)--
Elpida Memory, Inc. ("Elpida") today announced that it has
received Intel's validation for its next-generation main memory DDR3
SO-DIMM. The upcoming Intel(R) Centrino(R) 2 processor technology
mobile platform is supported by Elpida's DDR3 SO-DIMM production
capabilities.

Since completing development of its DDR3 SDRAM in August 2005,
Elpida began delivering DIMM samples at the end of 2005 and has been
developing faster high-speed technologies. In May 2007 Elpida received
Intel's desktop platform validation of its DDR3 main memory. Now
Elpida has received Intel's mobile platform validation for its DDR3
SO-DIMM.

"We are very pleased to have Elpida's DDR3 technology validated on
Intel's next generation mobile platform" said Ali Sarabi, Director of
Industry Initiatives & Pathfinding at Intel Corporation. "DDR3 memory
technology is especially beneficial in mobile systems as it provides
better performance while reducing power."

Elpida is now shipping DDR3 for high-end desktop PCs and will
start shipments to notebook PC and server vendors making the
transition from DDR2 to DDR3. Elpida's DDR3 memory products are
recognized for their high-speed, low power consumption, stable
operation and mass production capabilities. They are already shipped
in large volumes as standard-use products to makers of high-end
desktop PC & Work Station systems. Major notebook customers are
validating Elpida's SO-DIMM.

As a leading vendor of DDR3 Elpida has a diverse line-up of DDR3
products. Elpida will make it possible to support not only
DDR3-1066/800 but also in the near future DDR3-1600/1333 products.
DDR3 shipments are likely to increase based on Elpida's plans to
introduce improved high-speed, low-cost next-generation products in
summer 2008 and 50nm process products in 2009.

About DDR3 SO-DIMM

DDR3 SO-DIMM is the newest advanced memory product for notebooks
PCs and is able to achieve low-power consumption using low voltage of
1.5V. To realize high-speed operation, DDR3 SO-DIMM employs
component-level 8-bit pre-fetch and fly-by topology at the DIMM level
to improve signal integrity. To avoid flight-time difference between
DQ/DM/DQS signals and achieve high-speed operations the DDR3 system
uses a de-skew mechanism to compensate for flight-time difference.
