Samsung Electronics has unveiled the world’s first memory modules that carry 32GB of DDR3 memory. The devices are aimed at servers and enable never before seen memory capacities.The 32 GB module offers four times the density at significantly reduced power levels compared to the 8 GB memory modules of today. The 32 GB uses 1.35 volts which will not only reduce power levels but also help to reduce the overall electronic footprint.
The 32 GB module is inspired by the Samsung’s 50 nanometre (nm) - class 4 GB DDR3. The 32 GB model uses 72 4 GB DDR3 chip and nine quad-die package (QDP) 16 GB DDR3’s for a collective 32 GB configuration.
The DDR3 DRAM market accounts for 29% of the total DRAM market in 2009 and the International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates this number to rise to 75% in 2011. Furthermore, according to the IDC, 2 GB or higher DDR3 DRAM will rise from 3% to 33% of the total DRAM market by 2011
Pricing of the 32GB RDIMM was not announced.
