Elpida Memory has announced that it began sample shipments of 2Gb DDR3 DRAM chips built using 25nm process technology at the end of July.

The company will also adopt the advanced process for 4Gb DDR3 with commercial production slated for the end of 2011.

These new 25nm DDR3 products will be used for PC and server applications, including data centers and other facilities that perform information processing tasks on a large scale, according to Elpida.

Elpida revealed that special features of its 25nm DRAMs include lower current usage (roughly 15% less during operation, 20% less when on standby) compared with the current advanced process 30nm-generation products. Development of the newer 25nm manufacturing process was carried out in May.

The 25nm process will also be applied to develop Elpida's mobile DRAM products for use in various kinds of mobile devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, ultra-thin notebooks, game consoles and other digital consumer electronics, the company noted.
