Samsung said on Thursday that it has developed a new GDDR6 (graphics double data rate) DRAM with a data transfer rate of 24 gigabits per second (Gbps).
The Korean technology giant said that a high-end graphics card integrated with the chip will support data processing speeds of up to 1.1 terabytes (TB), equivalent to processing 275 movies at high resolution. Full HD resolution within a second.
Samsung says DRAM includes 16Gb chips using third-generation 10nm process nodes, which also incorporate Ultraviolet lithography (EUV) during their production.
The company has also applied high k metal gate, or the use of metals other than silicon dioxide to make the gate hold more electricity, on DRAM.
Samsung says this allows Its latest DRAM to operate at 30% faster speed than its 18Gbps DRAM GGDR6 predecessor.
DRAM complies with the latest GDDR6 DRAM standards set forth by the Joint Electronics Engineering Council (JEDEC) __ the global standard-setting body for memory chips __ to vendors of AI and accelerators graphics can easily adapt it to their products, the company said.
Samsung says it also applies dynamic voltage conversion to increase DRAM’s power efficiency, reducing its working voltage to as low as 1.1V from the previous low of 1.35V, allows the battery in the laptop to last longer.
The company says it will begin verifying DRAM with a large GPU customer for their next-gen system this month.
High-performance graphics DRAM market is expected to grow by double digits every year, Samsung said, adding that it expects its new chip to be applied in PCs, laptops and consoles. games as well as in high-performance computers, electric vehicles, and autonomous vehicles. .
