If last year Samsung introduced a 64GB 3D TSV(through silicon via) DDR4 (double data rate-4) DRAM, now the company claim that they are ready to turn the first ever 128GB RAM DDR4 into mass production. Yes you read right, 128GB RAM not ROM…
Samsung 128GB DDR4 RAM: “The largest capacity with the highest energy efficiency”
Recently, Mr. Joo Sun Choi, Samsung’s executive vice president for Memory Sales and Marketing, has announced “we Are Pleased That Volume Production Of Our High Speed, Low-Power 128GB TSV DRAM Module Will Enable Our Global IT Customers And Partners To Launch A New Generation Of Enterprise Solutions.” Accordingly, there are 144 DDR4 chips to make up the new 128GB TSV modules and the chips are further structured into 36 packages with 4GB DRAM each, containing four 20nm based 8GB chips.
In terms of design, we are informed that the look of this new Samsung RAM module will allow better signal transmission as compared to other conventional ones. Besides, 4GB master chips embedded for data buffer function will also be on board. As a result, it will save more power but be able to provide a speed of up to 2,400 Mbps. It is really a product created for the enterprise with “the largest capacity and the highest energy efficiency of any DRAM modules today.” The Korean giant manufacturer also confirms that the “e-modules with data transfer speeds of up to 2,667Mbps and 3,200Mbps that help to meet intensifying enterprise server needs, while expanding TSV applications into high bandwidth memory (HBM) and consumer products.” Let’s wait and see!
Samsung 128GB DDR4 RAM Price and Availability
To be honest, we think Samsung really knows how to impress people. Samsung has started mass-producing their new Samsung 128GB DDR4 RAM chips, no official word has been made about the Samsung 128GB DDR4 RAM price yet. Some say it will be likely to cost more than a little PC but let’s wait for the company’s final announcement. So what do you think about Samsung 128GB RAM devices? (igyaan)
