  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 [...]

  Samsung has announced that they’ve started mass producing 32GB memory modules based on 30nm 4Gb DDR3 chips. Samsung says such type of RAM is beneficial for advanced server systems and cloud computing and gives about 50 percent increase in productivity with data transmission speed up to 1866Mbps as compared to a 40nm-based 4Gb DDR3. [...]

  Samsung has announced that they’ve started production of its low-power DDR2 RAM for smartphones that was unveiled in December last year. The 30nm-class process-based 4Gb LPDDR2 RAM is industry’s first DRAM chip that will help manufacturers to churn out slimmer, lighter smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices with prolonged battery life. According to Samsung, [...]

  Samsung has developed a new mobile DRAM that will enable mobile devices like smartphones and tablet PCs to achieve faster data transmissions. Based on 50nm-class process, the new 1 Gigabit (Gb) mobile DRAM adopts a wide I/O interface that can transmit data up to 12.8GB (Gigabyte) per second. The new DRAM increases the bandwidth [...]

  As part of Samsung’s Green DDR3 range, Samsung has announced the development of an 8GB RDIMM memory module using three-dimensional (3D) chip stacking technology which is also referred to as ‘through silicon via’ (TSV). Samsung says major customers have successfully tested the 3D-TSV module that helps to save up to 40 percent of power [...]

  Samsung has announced that they’ve developed and started sampling the industry’s first monolithic four gigabit (Gb), low power double data rate 2 (LPDDR2) DRAM. Samsung says next generation smartphones and tablet PCs will be able to take advantage of this power efficient RAM. Based on 30nm fabrication process, the 4Gb (Gigabit) LPDDR2 DRAM can [...]

  Samsung has started shipping samples of its 40nm-based 32GB DRAM modules apt for servers that require high density and performance at low power consumption. The modules consists of Samsung’s recently unveiled 36 dual-die 40nm class 4Gb DDR3 chips that boast same or better performance as compared to the 40nm 16GB RDIMM modules. Samsung says, [...]

  Yesterday, a semiconductor plant of Samsung Electronics in Giheung, Gyeonggi Province suffered a blackout for few hours that eventually pushed up the NAND flash chip price. The sudden power cut happened around 2:30pm at plant’s K2 and K5 section and though the blackout lasted couple of hours, it drove the daily average spot price [...]

  Samsung Electronics is currently the world’s largest memory chipmaker and it will strive to widen the gap, according to Korea Times. By next year, Samsung will look to increase its global market share of DRAM chips to up to 45 percent from the previously forecasted 36 percent. Additionally, Samsung also plans to achieve the [...]

Being the world’s largest producer of DDR3 RAM and SSDs, this can easily be termed as an indirect marketing pitch but if rising data center costs are a concern for your company, you may want to pay heed to this. Samsung reckons use of DDR3 RAM and SSD the ‘Dynamic Duo’ is instrumental to reduce [...]
