Samsung launches first mobile LPDDR2 memory of 4 Gb density standards for the 20-nanometer class

According to the company Samsung Electronics, it was the first in the industry began to produce components such as memory density LPDDR2 4Gb on 20-nanometer technology class. The manufacturer does not result in the exact value of technological standards, explaining that the 20-nanometer process technologies related to the class, based on compliance from 20 to 29 nm. Serial production of the memory for mobile devices began in April.

 

The Samsung expects that the new memory to quickly replace the memory chips LPDDR2 1GB, now produced at rates of 30 nm-class.

Using the components of the density of 4 Gbps, Samsung can produce 2 GB chip with a thickness not exceeding 0.8 mm. Such a chip would be about 20% thinner than 2 GB chip, made of four crystal density LPDDR2 4Gb, made at rates of 30 nm-class, according to the manufacturer. The maximum speed of the new memory is 1066 Mb / s. Moreover, its energy is equal to power consumption of memory 2GB, made at rates 30-nanometer class.
