Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has begun full-scale commercial production of a 256-Mbit DDR3 DRAM chip, according to a report Monday.
The report said the chip can transfer data at 1.4-Gbits per second and is aimed at graphics applications with graphic display performance improved by 40 percent compared with previous DDR DRAMs. The chipmaker plans to introduce 256-Mbit DDR3 DRAM with a data processing speed of 2-Gbit/s by the year's end, the report said.
Samsung Electronics is the exclusive supplier of the 256Mb DDR3 DRAM chip to nVIDIA of the United States and ATI of Canada, the world's two biggest graphic card and chipset manufacturers.
Memory technologies for PCs are expected to evolve this year with initial moves toward DDR2 system memory. DDR3 memory for systems is not expected to reach the market until 2006 or thereabouts, said analysts.
