Samsung Starts Mass Producing World's First 10-Nanometer 8 GB DDR4 RAM

Samsung started mass producing the 10-nanometer class, 8 gigabit DDR4 DRAM chips, the first of this kind produced in the industry to date.
The new DRAM chip uses the latest and smallest semiconductor fabrication process of 10 nanometer, which can help in building faster and more efficient memory. The latter is said to power the future generation of computers, whether they are for personal usage or enterprise-based.
"[The company's] 10nm-class DRAM will enable the highest level of investment efficiency in IT systems, thereby becoming a new growth engine for the global memory industry," said Young-Hyun Jun, the president of Memory Business at Samsung Electronics.
The new DRAM is said to have up to 3,200 Mbps of data transfer support, which is definitely faster than the 20 nm DDR4 DRAM's 2,400 Mbps by more than 30 percent. Moreover, the new modules that are based on the DRAM chips consume less power by 10 to 20 percent compared to the earlier 20 nm version. Samsung said the new DRAM chips will help improve the design efficiency of future HPC systems as well as major enterprise networks
