While DDR5 RAM has already made good progress, Samsung’s 12nm chips should lead the way to new records.
Anxious to put pressure on its competitors, the South Korean company Samsung has therefore just started mass production of its 12 nm DDR5 chips, press release supporting this.
The 12 nm to race ahead
This press release is obviously full of praise for Samsung’s industrial capabilities and emphasizes that this production launch of 16 Gb DDR5 12 nm chips allows it to ” reaffirm its leadership in advanced DRAM technologies “.
According to Jooyoung Lee, Executive Vice President DRAM Product & Technology at Samsung Electronics: Utilizing differentiated process technology, Samsung’s 12nm class DDR5 DRAM delivers exceptional performance and power efficiency. Our latest DRAM reflects our continued commitment to lead the DRAM market, not only with high-performance, high-capacity products that meet the computing market’s demand for large-scale processing, but also by bringing to market next-generation solutions that allow for greater productivity. »
Less consumption, more throughput
The press release published by Samsung goes into more detail about the contributions of this new generation of DDR5. It would thus be a question of energy consumption reduced by 23%.
Better, this sobriety would not affect the performance of the wafers, quite the contrary. Samsung thus evokes a productivity increase of 20% which makes it “ the ideal solution for IT companies looking to reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of their servers and data centers “.
In addition, the 12 nm made possible by the use of new materials makes it possible to reduce the operating voltage while performance has further increased. Samsung mentions 7.2 Gbps for its new chips and likes to compare it to the transfer of two 30 GB UHD films: it would be done in one second.
