In an industry where memory chip manufacturers are cutting down on production and expansion due to the reduction in demand, Samsung is doing quite the opposite. Samsung has announced to start operations of its 16th production line, which is touted to be the world’s largest memory chip production line. Samsung had started construction of the new line back in May.

More interestingly, Samsung has also started production of 20nm-based chips that helps to make the memory cheaper and efficient.

Samsung has confirmed to start production of 20nm 2Gb DRAM by end of this year whereas memory based on 4Gb DDR3 will be developed in next year. Samsung also plans to produce 10nm NAND flash chips next year.
