In caz ca ati ratat stirea prin care Samsung anunta ca se pregateste de productia pentru memorii DDR4 de dimensiuni echivalente celor actuale, ignorati-o total! Nu de alta, dar cei de la SK Hynix au sarit de orice limita impusa de tehnologia actuala si au dezvoltat primul modul de memorie DDR4 cu o capacitate de 128GB! Nu stiu la ce Dzeu ar ajuta asta intr-un desktop PC, dar imaginati-va ca puteti avea 4 x 128GB in propriul calculator. 512GB RAM, gata pregatiti de orice ne pregateste viitorul (destul de apropiat avand in vedere ca Intel are in roadmap pe Q3 lansarea noilor chipset-uri cu suport DDR4)!
Partea frumoasa cu noile memorii DDR4 este legata de cei 20nm la care sunt produse chipurile. Acest lucru nu doar ca permite o densitate de 8GB per chip, dar permite rularea la o frecventa de 2133Mhz (nu stiu de ce au spus Mbps) cu doar 1.2V! Va reamintesc ca memoriile low voltage DDR3 au ajuns la 1.35V, majoritatea ruland la 1.5V si 1.65V. Bandwith-ul asigurat de un I/O pe 64bits promite upto 17GB/s.
Desigur ca nu avem un pret sau o data de lansare si probabil aceste memorii vor fi destinate initial serverelor... dar ca si in cazul tehnologiei 4K, rotitele au fost deja puse in miscare. Ma uit la ce nebunii de placi video au fost anuntate... la ce disperare e dupa viteza via SSD/RAM/CPU... si cred ca in maxim 2 ani nu ne vom mai recunoaste sistemele actuale. Se vede foarte limpede faptul ca scaderea vanzarilor la PC-uri si componente au impulsionat developmentul mai mult decat de obicei.

SK Hynix Developed the World’s First Highest Density 128GB DDR4 Module
Seoul, April 7, 2014 – SK Hynix Inc. (or ‘the Company’, www.skhynix.com) announced that it has developed the world’s first highest density of 128GB(Gigabytes) module based on 8Gb(Gigabit) DDR4 using its advanced 20nm class technology.
This module has double density compared to existing 64GB by taking advantage of TSV(Through Silicon Via) technology. This new product works at 2133Mbps and with a 64-bit I/O it processes up to 17GB of data per second. It also runs at ultra low-voltage of 1.2V which does at lower voltage than 1.35V of existing DDR3.
SK Hynix is expected to continuously maintain its technology leadership in the server DRAM market by providing the samples of the world’s first 128GB and 64GB modules built on 8Gb DDR4. The Company plans to start volume mass production of those from the first half of next year.
“The development of the world’s first 128GB DDR4 module has its significance in opening ultrahigh density server market” said Senior Vice President Sung Joo Hong, the Head of DRAM Development. “The Company will further strengthen its competitiveness in premium DRAM sphere with the development of high density, ultrahigh speed and low power consuming products” he added.
According to Gartner, server DRAM market will grow 37% in annual average until 2018 following expansion of mobile environment. Plus, the new interface DDR4 is expected to be certified by customers in this year and is anticipated to be commercialized regularly from 2015. Also, it is expected to be the main standard in the industry from 2016.
