Samsung mass producing ddr4 for next gen data centres

Early market availability of the 4Gb ddr4 devices, which use 20nm class process technology, are expected to facilitate demand for 16 and 32GB memory modules. "The adoption of ultra high speed ddr4 in next generation server systems this year will initiate a push toward advanced premium memory across the enterprise," said Young-Hyun Jun, executive vice president of memory sales and marketing for Samsung. "After providing cutting edge performance with our timely supply of 16GB ddr3 earlier this year, we are continuing to extend the premium server market in 2013 and will now focus on higher density and added performance with 32GB ddr4, and contribute to even greater growth of the green IT market in 2014." The new ddr4 modules follow the introduction of 50nm class 2Gb ddr3 in 2008. As well as lowering power consumption by more than 30%, they are claimed to have the fastest dram data transmission rate of 2,667mb/s - a 1.25x increase over 20nm class ddr3.
