Samsung announces first DDR4 RAM

Today Samsung announced that it has developed the world’s first DDR4 RAM modules. This RAM runs at 2133MHz using an energy-sipping 1.2V. It is built on a 30nm process and is currently planned in capacities up to 2GB.

In addition, the new modules make use of Pseudo Open Drain, a technology that allows the RAM to consume roughly half the power of DDR3 during read and write operations.

The DDR4 standard is currently undergoing the JEDEC standardization process which should be completed later this year.

Dunno where my post went, but Samsung is working with JEDEC to finalize the DDR4 spec this summer.
5 Jan 2011 ~ 5:17pm Snarkasm You stuck it in some other thread, but I saw it there, too. I checked before I wrote my post to make sure JEDEC hadn't finalized it, I know it's actively being worked on.

Nothing new, really - same kind of thing with draft-N wireless and all. Still more than plenty exciting.

Guess I wasn't terribly clear in the writeup either.
