Super Talent has begun offering reduced voltage DDR3 memory modules for iMac and Macbook Pro systems.
According to the manufacturer, the devices run at 1.35 volts instead of 1.5 volts, promising Apple users to support their green peace of mind and a few dollars in their power usage.
Super Talent offers the memory as 4 GB and 8 GB DDR3L-1600 SODIMMs versions for the 15-inch and 13-inch MacBook Pros, as well as the recent 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac models with Core i7 and Core i5 processors.
There was no information on availability and pricing.

I honestly do not think there is any difference, just more money for the sake of getting more money.
It's not about saving in the electric bill is about the battery lasting a bit longer due to less energy used by the RAM.

yes the only difference is the price and that the company took the time to test the memory with a mac, all you have to do is read the reviews and find out whether the memory is mac compatible or not, and save some money. Its doesn't need to be mac compatible to work with mac.
@Vladislaus
thats a negative. Apple's does not void the warranty because you open a computer. besides the MacBook Air and the Retina, Apple consider the Ram and HHD user replaceable and DOES NOT void the warranty. I have had a few Macs I know this first hand. A few months ago they replaced the casing of a white macbook which I upgraded the HDD and the RAM.
Yes you can do it yourself without voiding the warranty. I don't know where people do people get that idea from, maybe from back in the day when apple made all their own hardware. At least i know that since they started using intel this has been possible. they even have a link in their website demonstrating the step by step process.

I have an iMac and 2 MacBooks, I know this first hand. RAM and HDD is user replaceable some batteries too, depending on the model of the MacBook.
