Samsung to produce new DRAM next month

SEOUL, Sept. 29 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Electronics Co., the world's largest maker of computer memory chips, said Monday it plans to begin mass production of its latest and fastest chip model next month.

The company will begin production of its 2-gigabit DDR3 DRAM chip, which is
approximately 1.6-times faster than last year's DDR2 DRAM model, starting next
month, Samsung said in a statement.
DRAM is short for dynamic random access memory, also referred to as memory chips,
and is used in personal computers and other electronic devices such as mobile
phones.
The new model, which is to be produced under 50-nano etching technology, will
bring about a 60-percent increase in production efficiency due to the
much-reduced size of the chip, according to Samsung.
