Samsung Improves Mobile RAM

RAM "mobile" Samsung improves. The company has launched production of chips with 4 Gigabit (512 MB) DDR2-LP. The LP-DDR2 memory LP (Low Power) able to work in equivalent 1066 MHz. Attention, as buses are less wide on mobile devices than on PCs (32-bit against 64 bit), flows are lower. With its new memory, Samsung will be able to offer 1 GB of memory smaller than before: indeed, the manufacturers generally use of memory "stack" (multiple stacked chips) and the new memory in 30 nm allows the use two chips instead of four to get 1 GB of memory.

According to Samsung, it goes from 1 mm to 0.8 mm for 1 GB, with 25% reduction in consumption. 1GB chips (two chips stacked) will be available in April and chips 2GB (four stacked chips) in May. Apple, which works with Samsung for its CPU Ax, should use this memory in the iPhone 5.
