Mass production of Samsung’s 12-nanometer DDR5 chips begins

Samsung, one of the leading manufacturers of memory chips, has announced the start of full-scale production of its 12-nanometer DDR5 RAM memory chips. Specifically, these are chips with 16 Gigabits (Gb) of capacity that will be used in the most advanced modules of Samsung and other clients.

The Korean company promises a 23% decrease in energy consumption, while performance is increased by 20% compared to previous generations of these chips. They will be able to reach 7.2 Gigabits per second (Gbps). Their use is diverse and they will be integrated into modules for data centers, Artificial Intelligence systems or next-generation PCs.

Before starting this mass manufacturing process, Samsung had already collaborated with its customers to test these chips and their compatibility, in fact, at the end of last year they were already able to certify the compatibility of these chips in RAM modules accompanied by AMD processors. .

Although 12 nanometers may seem high figures when compared to the figures that are handled in SoCs such as processors or GPUs, in DRAM memories, due to its design and operation, it is one of the most advanced nodes at the moment. This start of mass production of its 12-nanometer DDR5 modules fulfills the promises that Samsung made in December 2022.
