Samsung’s New Memory Chip Enables 32GB DDR3 Modules
OK, there's not a lot you can do to make memory exciting but Samsung is hoping to make up for that with some cool breakthrough that will allow for 32GB DDR3 memory modules. The company has used 50nm technology to create the first 4GB DDR memory chip which offers significantly more capacity but, more importantly, consumes a lot less power. Samsung is aiming the memory chip at PC makers looking to create greener PCs and laptops. The 4GB chip will be used in 8GB unbuffered DIMM for workstations and desktop PCs and 8GB small-outline DIMM for laptops. DDR3 is 8 times faster than DDR2 memory and uses 30% less power. The new 50nm 4GB chip comes 5 months after Samsung introduced the first 2GB chips built using the 50nm process. According to IDC, DDR3 will account for 29% of the overall DRAM market in 2011. Samsung has not yet revealed when we might see such modules on the market though so we think it best you don't hold your breath.-Martin Lynch memory pc
