Samsung to mass produce 40nm DDR3 RAM
Samsung has launched their 2-gigabit or 256MB DDR3 RAM chip. According to Slashgear, this is the first chip to be mass produced using Samsung’s 40nm process.
This smaller and higher density technology allows the company to produce denser memory chips. Moreover, this production process refrains from increasing the power consumption or cost of the chip. Apparently, the chip is said to consume only 1.35 volts of energy. The 40nm production process will allow the company to produce around 60 percent more memory as compared to its 50nm process.
This DDR3 offers up to 4GB RAM for notebooks and up to 16GB RAM for servers. The chips provide two times the bandwidth offered by the traditional 1-Gigabit chip. The DDR3 RAM provides a speed of 1.6 Gigabits per second.
The pricing and availability details of the Samsung 40nm 2-Gigabit DDR3 RAM are still under wraps. But it is speculated that these chips will be pre-installed in computers offered by major manufacturers.
