Samsung Electronics' first 12nm-class DDR5 DRAM

Samsung Electronics announced that it has successfully developed its first 16 Gb DDR5 DRAM built with 12-nanometer (nm)-class process technology and completed product evaluation for compatibility with AMD. Mass production will begin in 23 years, with excellent performance and higher energy efficiency, to promote the development of next-generation computing, data centers and AI applications

Jooyoung Lee, senior vice president and head of DRAM products and technology at Samsung Electronics, said: "Samsung's 12nm-class DRAM will be a key factor in driving the widespread adoption of DDR5 DRAM across the market. With excellent performance and energy efficiency, we expect the new DRAM to be the next generation of computing The foundation for more sustainable operations in areas such as , data centers and AI-driven systems."

AMD Senior Vice President, Corporate Fellow and Customer, Computing, Graphics Chief Technology Officer Joe Macri said: "Innovation often requires close cooperation with industry partners to expand the boundaries of technology. We are very happy to cooperate with Samsung Electronics again, especially to launch Optimized and verified DDR5 memory products on Zen platform."

This technological breakthrough is achieved through the use of a new high-dielectric (high-k) material to increase battery capacitance, as well as patented design techniques that improve key circuit characteristics. Combined with advanced multi-layer extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology, the new DRAM has Samsung's highest DDR5 Die density (Die density), which can increase wafer productivity by 20%.

Based on the latest DDR5 standard, Samsung's 12nm-class DRAM will unlock speeds of up to 7.2 gigabits per second (Gbps), which means processing two 30GB ultra-high-definition (UHD) movies in one second.

The new DRAM has both superior speed and higher energy efficiency. Compared with the previous generation of Samsung DRAM products, the power consumption of 12nm-class DRAM is reduced by about 23%. For more global IT companies pursuing environmental protection, this will be the preferred solution worth considering.
