Samsung Starts Mass Production of 30nm-Class 2Gb DDR3

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has announced mass production of what it calls the industry's first two-gigabit Green DDR3 using 30-nanometer-class process technology.

According to Samsung, the chips provide the highest-performance solution available. For server applications, memory modules can reach up to 1.866Gbps at 1.35 volts, while PC modules can run at up to 2.133Gbps (1.5 volts), which is 1.6 times faster than 50nm-class DDR3.

When combined with new multicore PC platforms, Samsung says, its 30nm-class 4GB DDR3 parts can operate 60 percent faster than two 50nm-class 2GB DDR3 modules while using 65 percent less power. Overall, the new chip provides a 155 percent overall increase in productivity over Samsung's 50nm-class process.
