Good news gamers! Samsung is ramping up the production of 12nm DDR5 RAM, which uses a 12-nanometer (nm) class process node, to meet the growing demand in the memory chip market. This innovative RAM helps to reduce power consumption and increase processing speeds by up to 60GB per second. Not only that, but its smaller size has brought wafer productivity up by 20%, enabling more chips to be produced out of a single wafer. This cost-saving measure is likely to drive the cost of DDR5 RAM down, improving accessibility and affordability for gamers worldwide.
Samsung ventured into the RAM market in November 2021 with the 14nm based 16GB DDR5 RAM which was validated by Qualcomm Technologies for use on Snapdragon mobile platforms. But now, Samsung has announced that it has developed a DDR5 RAM which is compatible with AMD. This will enable gamers to pair RAM with existing AMD chips and graphics cards.
Another advantage of the RAM is that it requires only AMD AM5 or Intel LGA 1700 socket. This could make DDR5 RAM more accessible as not only are these motherboard sockets compatible with the latest Zen 4-based AMD CPUs but they are also backwards compatible with DDR4 RAM.
Samsung has also been collaborating and verifying compatibility withglobal IT companies further cementing its lead in the RAM market. No doubt, this development is a great step forward for the industry; and all gamers should consider making their hardware upgrade to DDR5 as soon as possible.
