Samsung Manufactures the Fastest DRAM Memory for the PC Will process the images at a 33% faster rate	By Anca Rusu, Technology Editor 6th of July 2006, 09:15 GMT Adjust text size:


Samsung Electronics has just announced it has already started mass production of its latest innovative development - the fastest DRAM memory created for the PC, which will process the images at a 33% faster rate, informs Electronics Weekly. It seems that Samsung's advanced DRAM has been created, in fact, especially for the latest products of the graphics market segment leaders - Nvidia and ATI. "The graphics industry has an insatiable demand for high bandwidth memories and GDDR4 is poised to become the next major evolutionary step for our graphics processors," stated Tony Tamasi, vice president of technical marketing at Nvidia, cited by Electronics Weekly. Samsung's representatives revealed that the GDDR4 (four of graphics double-density-rate memory) is manufactured using a 80nm process technology, offering a capacity of 512MB on a 32-bit data bus configuration, and a processing speed rate of 2.4Gbit/s. "Sales of high performance memory have already risen by 15% this year compared to 2005, and GDDR4 will give an even sharper boost in demand," declared Jon Peddie of the market research firm Jon Peddie Research, cited by Electronics Weekly. "The firm predicted that the non-integrated graphics memory market will grow from $2.3bn in 2005 to over $4bn by the end of 2008," writes Electronics Weekly. But this is not the sole innovation brought to the technology market by Samsung Electronics, as the manufacturer recently announced that it will release later this year or earlier in 2007 a hybrid dual-format high definition video player, which is said to support both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs. "We don't have a plan to make an HD DVD-only player, but are considering a universal player. We are preparing HD DVD (support) now and if we launch a universal player it will be the end of this year or early next year," said Kim Du-Hyon, an assistant manager in Samsung's home-platform product planning division.
