Elpida develops 4Gb DDR3 SDRAM on 25nm node

ntttttttttttt

Elpida Memory Inc has developed the industry’s first 4Gb DDR3 SDRAM on 25nm process. The new chip is also the smallest 4Gb DRAM to date.

Elpida’s newly developed DRAM enhances productivity by about 45% compared with Elpida’s 30nm 4Gb DDR3 SDRAM. Compared with this same 30nm DDR3, it reduces operating current by about 25-30% and standby current by about 30-50%. It also features the industry’s highest speed data transfer rate.

The new DDR3 SDRAM is expected to find applications in PCs and in servers used in data centers and other facilities that perform large-scale information processing tasks. Other applications would include tablet PCs. Sample shipment and mass production of the new memory devices is expected to start by the end of this year.
