Apacer Launches DDR3-1600 MHz SO-DIMM Modules for Fast Notebooks




Taiwan-headquartered company Apacer has reportedly just introduced the new 8 GB DDR3 SO-DIMM memory module working at 1600 MHz. 

This is a great chance to get rid of those low-speed memory modules inside your laptop. Apacer touts a 20% increase in performance when compared with a mainstream DDR3-1333MHz memory module, along with a 11% decrease in power consumption.

While we’re sure the real performance improvements are not nearly that great, we can definitely say that if you own a laptop with an iGPU using shared system memory (like most of the laptop users) the increased bandwidth will surely help a little.

If you use a notebook with discrete graphics, we don’t see a reason to upgrade based on the frequency difference alone, when going from 1333 MHz to 1600 MHz. If your memory modules are rated at 1066 MHz, Apacer’s new product will do some good, but only if your laptop supports the 1600 MHz memory frequency.
