Samsung To Set New Memory Density Standards Soon،
The PCs and laptops we use regularly rely on two key components to function: memory and storage. These components come in shapes and sizes, from entry-level chips on affordable models to high-frequency variants that cost more. However, even with the high-end DRAM and Nand flash chip available, large-scale data processing is not as efficient. To improve this, Samsung Electronics is working to increase the memory density of its NAND flash chips and DRAM to “extreme levels.”
/Samsung to achieve industry’s highest level of memory density
According to a report published by KED Global, the 11-nanometer DRAM currently under development at Samsung Electronics will “achieve the highest level of memory density in the industry,” as the president and head of Device Solutions Division of Samsung Electronics said. the company, Lee Jung-bae. Samsung plans to achieve this by developing 3D stacked structures. For V-Nand, the company is working to place more cells on a lower-height PCB while reducing interference between cells to condense the size.
As the company achieves this breakthrough, it will help the IT industry and all other fields that depend on data processing, as chips with higher memory density will be able to store the same amount of information in fewer chips. In other words, it will be easier to achieve higher memory capacities using the same number of higher density DRAM chips.
High-density chips will benefit AI-based technologies and services
Although regular users may not need such performance, it would be very beneficial for AI-based technologies and businesses that need high-capacity, low-power memory. A quick example of such companies is Open AI, which requires high data processing power to train its popular chatbot, ChatGPT. By 2025, the company wants to implement high-bandwidth memory modules (HBM) with a capacity of up to 1 terabyte (or 1,000 gigabytes).
Samsung will apply in-memory processing (PIM) and near-memory processing (PNM) technologies to HBM chips, improving data computing capabilities while increasing the power efficiency of the chips. Another major claim that could revolutionize the industry involves a petabyte SSD or a million gigabyte hardware drive, which consume less power than traditional drivers.
The company will present more details on its latest semiconductor technologies at Samsung Memory Tech Day 2023 on October 20, 2023.
