Samsung has developed DDR4 memory modules, which are 40% more energy efficient than DDR3
Samsung introduced the DDR4 RAM modules created using the 30 nm process technology.
The modules are capable of transmitting data at a speed of up to 3200 million transactions per second, at a voltage of 1.2 V. For comparison: the speed of DDR3 modules manufactured using the 30-nm process technology and designed for a voltage of 1.35 or 1.5 V is up to 1600 million transmissions . The new modules consume 40% less electricity than DDR3 modules designed for 1.5 V. The modules use the Pseudo Open Drain technology, which reduced the current consumption by half compared to DDR3. ')
Using the new architecture, DDR4 can operate at speeds from 12.8 to 25.6 GB / s. Now the DDR3 speed is up to 12.8 GB / s, and DDR2 - up to 6.4 GB / s.
In the second half of the year, Samsung, in collaboration with server manufacturers, plans to complete the standardization of DDR4 by JEDEC.
