12nm

Samsung, the world leader in DRAM semiconductor memory chips, has announced that it has started the mass production of 16Gb DDR5 DRAM chips using the 12nm technology. Compared to the previous generation chips, the new 12nm DRAM chips are more power efficient. The South Korean firm’s new 12nm DDR5 DRAM chips are 23% more power-efficient and increase wafer productivity by 20%. Clients who use these chips for their cloud servers and high-performance computing can notice higher power savings and reduced carbon footprints,…

Samsung said on Thursday that it has begun mass production of its double data rate 5 (DDR5) DRAM made with a 12-nanometer (nm) class process node. The tech giant announced the development of the 16Gb DDR5 DRAM in December last year.The start of the mass production of the 12nm DRAM, which makes it the most advanced among DRAMs available, at a time when the memory chip industry is going through a downturn, shows that Samsung, the world's largest memory chipmaker, intends to maintain its leadership in the sector and…

Samsung has unveiled the world’s first DDR5 DRAM chips that are made using 12nm semiconductor fabrication technology. The company revealed its 16Gb DDR5 DRAM chips and said that they’ve already been evaluated for compatibility with AMD’s Zen processors. The new chips are more power efficient and offer 23% higher performance than previous-generation DRAM chips. The South Korean firm said it made this technological leap was made possible by using high-κ material that increases cell capacitance. Samsung also used its…

Samsung said on Tuesday that it has developed a double data rate 5 (DDR5) DRAM made with a 12-nanometer (nm) process node.According to the South Korean tech giant, the 12nm 16Gb DDR5 DRAM has been verified with CPU maker AMD, with mass production slated to begin next year.What is unusual about Samsung's announcement is that it gave a specific numerical value of the process node it used __ in this case "12".Memory chipmakers, which includes SK Hynix and Micron, had mostly used the term "10nm class" or their own jargon…
