A dot of DDR 3 in the horizon

Whilst DDR 2 only just replaced DDR on the market, Elpida and Hynix during the IDF presented their first RAM memories based on DDR3.
Once again, the new battlefront moved way further.
The DDR 3 technology wouldn't actually bring importants performances boosts, but rather optimize the ratio performance/energy consumptions.
Good news for our planet ecology that manufacturers at last seem to care about the energetical cost of the rising performances brought in the computing industry.
Maybe one day, our machines will be considered only according to their MFLOP/W ratio, rather than rough performances.
