Jakarta –
SAMSUNG in cooperation with AMD completed the development of the 16 gigabit chip DDR5 RAMwhich is said to be the first in the world to use 12nm technology.
Samsung calls this chip a technological leap in the industry, and AMD also has a role in assessing the compatibility of this DDR5 chip with Zen architecture CPUs.
As for speed, according to Samsung, this new chip can unlock speeds of up to 7.2Gbps. In other words, this RAM module can process two 30GB 4K movies in just one second. Yes, one second.
The 12nm chip is manufactured using a process called multilayered extreme ultraviolet (EUV), which is more expensive than the deep ultraviolet (DUV) technology commonly used in memory manufacturing.
Samsung also uses high-strength dielectric materials to increase cell capacity and uses special technology to improve critical circuit characteristics.
Oh yeah, this 12nm chip features the highest density in the industry which can increase wafer throughput by 20%. Its power consumption is also much lower than previous DRAM products, which is 23% lower.
This 12nm DDR5 chip will only be mass-produced in 2023 and is expected to be rolled out to other DRAM lines manufactured by Samsung. The market segments targeted by Samsung through this chip include next-generation computers, data centers and systems that process artificial intelligence.
Businesses using computers with 12nm DDR5 DRAM chips are promised to experience a significant increase in performance and energy efficiency as well.
“The 12nm DRAM lineup will be key to driving the wider adoption of DDR5 DRAM in the market,” said Jooyoung Lee, executive vice president of DRAM Product & Technology at Samsung.
