Samsung Electronics has announced plans to launch some game-changing memory chips over the next two years.
It’s going to start making fifth-generation 10-nanometer DRAM chips next year and then a ninth-generation Vertical NAND a year later.
Samsung announced the news Wednesday at the Samsung Tech Day in Silicon Valley.
Fifth-generation DRAM will be much thinner, meaning more chips can be made on one wafer, giving Samsung an advantage over its competitors.
As for the upcoming V-NAND, the ninth generation, Samsung said it’ll be 42 percent more dense and better suited for the data-intensive industries of the future.
Calling the plan “total solution fabless,” Samsung aims to achieve convergence among a wide range of its products, like system semiconductors, mobility solutions and artificial intelligence.
