low-voltage ddr3

[bun]

what does it take to have a PC3L / PC3U ddr3 stable at 1.35V / 1.25V? i mean which component(s) must support it? is it the mobo chipsets or the mobo as whole or the cpu's IMC or any combinations of them?

an example of a mobo that explicitly states its support for PC3U is asus M4A87TD/USB3, so i guess supporting low-voltage ddr3 is the exception, hence mobos that don't specify this must run such ddr3 at 1.5V or higher, am i right?


and, PC3L & PC3U ddr3 are required to be able to run at 1.5V aside from their respective lower voltages, do all those low-voltage ddr3 on the market comply to it?

a quick look at cpu-world, amd mobile cpus & opteron are mainly the ones supporting DDR3L, & as far as i can see none supports DDR3U

now that asus M4A87TDUSB3 are intended for PII, AII, Sempron, which implicitly says that one/more of those cpus support low-voltage ddr3, i'm confused

thx
