1.35V DDR3 SDRAM- VLP Proves to be GREEN Solution
Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced they are now shipping their new "Green DDR3" to support low-voltage platforms. Our JEDEC standard 1.35V DDR3 SDRAM-VLP is 2GB based on a 1Gb component. This DDR3 memory product features: lower cooling costs, higher efficiency, and most importantly dramatic power savings. "Sometimes doing the right thing is hard; here is on that is easy. With our new green DDR3 you can increase your systems performance and save on total costs, while simultaneously reducing your CO2 footprint"., - SuperTalent COO, CH Lee.
Standard DDR3 modules measure the standard 1.18 inches, but this DDR3 solution has a vertically optimized module height of .72 inches', This enables better air flow, meaning less cooling costs. This also means that the boards require less material to manufacture, costs less to ship and will have a lower impact on the landfill some day. Not only does this innovative technology save space, help machines run cooler but encourages a more sustainable, eco-friendly solution.And the "Green" contribution doesn't end there; these new modules run at 1.35v instead of the traditional 1.575v. Lower voltage translates to lower power, less cooling, lower electrical bills, and less CO2 emissions. Now you can do the right thing for your enterprise, wallet and the earth all at the same time - without compromise.

I can't wait when they reach 1V or even sub-1 V
Whatever happened to good old words like "short" and "fat?"
Anyway, looks good. Drone, I think we can expect to see ≤1v with DDR4.
I dont buy into all this green nonsense anyway, not when we run 125w processors and GPU's 150w+ whats 2-3 watts for a ram stick and 5-8 watts for a HDD
Green movement = FAIL
If "green" ram could cut a couple hundred KW/h of power usage per day on a big server farm it would be a reasonable ammount of reduced power cost over the lifetime of the sticks, also i think lower power SODIMM's would be useful for squeezing an extra few min out of a battery but when it comes to a desktop pc then low power ram will have no noticable effect on power usage or heat output.
