Hopefully they can make super high capacity memory modules with this.

20% increase in performance with a 23% drop in power usage. Even with the numbers being tested in a lab and not the real world environment, that's crazy

the largest market for this will be hpc/servers. power reduction they will switch fast.

good server ram will be cheaper on used market... 500gb or a 1tb cheap.

When I hear Ram and power usage I immediately think of the benefits that gives unified memory systems like APUs. That basically means faster APUs that are already approaching middle gaming performance

12 nm is the size of the internal wiring. Smaller feature size means lower power, higher speeds and.greater density (smaller physical size).

The DRAM packages can be mounted to Printed circuit boards (PCBs) for laptop, desktop or server form.factors.

Servers, at first. High capacity and low voltage. Cutting your power budget is real shit when you're running thousands of machines... Trickle down to laptops and then desktops eventually....

Can they use the 5nm process from processors for ram?

11

mdoom23 t1_j1on41n wrote

Well transistors vs capacitors.

But if you really want your mind blown, the "5 nm process" isn't actually transistors that are 5nm in length. These numbers are more marketing terms and names of distinct generations more than actual physical dimensions.

In fact, the 5nm generation of CPUs actually are closer to transistors that are 35-40 nm in length.

The physical dimensions and the names haven't really been aligned in nearly three decades.

Drives me nuts. So misleading.

gramathy t1_j1pdsvt wrote

is 5 nm the resolution of the process? So the transistors aren't 5 nm, but creating a usable semiconductor structure requires precision on the order of 5 nm

andynator1000 t1_j1pf6en wrote

“5nm” is not related in any way to feature size or precision. It’s just a marketing name for the manufacturing process that followed “7nm”.

pi_designer t1_j1pspw3 wrote

Interesting fact. The silicon memory die has bond pads running down the centre and it is fitted face down. The package substrate has a slot running through the centre. The silicon is electrically connected to the bottom of the substrate (the side with solder balls) by wires stitched through the slot. This is then covered in a strip of mould compound visible in the image. Super fast signals, super cheap construction.

If it’s anything like their domestic appliances, it’ll destroy most any computer it’s installed into, and likely burn the house down as well.

Guess you haven't heard of Samsung NVME chips, they're among the highest quality SSDs.

rekabis t1_j1ola0s wrote

Oh, I have. But large swaths of Samsung’s product lines have not just dropped into the gutter over the last 24-36, but have gone clear down into the sewers. Their QC has gone from abysmally bad to pretty much non-existent, and I fear that many formerly-lauded products are no longer up to snuff. That it’s only a matter of time before real-world usage reports start overwhelming the inertia of stellar prior impressions.

I know people in the local appliance repair industry, as well as in appliance sales. According to them, Samsung now accounts for more product issues within the first two years of ownership than all other brands combined. Including the cheap Chinese and Indian off-brands.

And that can’t be good.

Stunning_Honeydew201 t1_j1omgfo wrote

I'm an appliance repair technician & have been for 10+ years & can confirm. It's so bad one big box store almost refused to sell them anymore. Samsung had to make some concessions on warranty stuff because the store was loosing a lot $$ on their extended warranty.

> I just thought we were talking about computer memory, not large appliances.

When a single company makes both, the company culture that allows one product line to rot into supremely unreliable crap is the same culture controlling the other as well. It’s only a matter of time.

SapFireMC t1_j1sopd1 wrote

That's a slippery slope. So far, Samsung electronics are perfectly fine. Their appliance sector is a whole another thing.

Can you really not think of a single company that has a spectacular line of one type of product but also has a terrible line of other products? In fact, I'd say the vast majority of companies are like this, and I can't name a single company that has perfect SKU's all around

Ah, yes. The company with a fraction of the issues of any other tech company in the same sectors. The only reason you hear more about Apple is because of how big they are, and how passionate their users are.

> Might you have any links to support those claims, Mac?

Failed to read where I clearly stated “I know people in the appliance repair industry”? That’s me clearly stating that it’s hearsay.

And failed to notice the follow-up comment from an actual appliance repair tech? That’s called corroborating evidence.

KillerMan2219 t1_j1p5p3a wrote

Not that it's the case here, but remember that toyota issued a recall for people being dumbfucks with their floor mats, that was a "manufacturer defect" with the stuck gas pedals.

Just because a company issues a recall doesn't mean it was actually not user error.

Again, not that it is in this case, but something to keep in mind.

You need to be explicit and talk about domestic appliances, otherwise you’ll piss off the fanboys.
