Elpida launches its 30 nm DRAM

Elpida said it will begin mass production of 30 nm DRAM etched next month. The firm had sent copies of the first test last December (see "The DDR3 SO-DIMM Elpida consumes less") and is now preparing for their marketing. She initially allocate 20% of its production to these new chips to increase to 30% next quarter.

It will initially produce modules of 2 Gb, then will move to 4 Gb DDR3 in three months. The firm says that this new fine engraving offers 45% higher yields at 40 nm and the diseases consume 20% less energy. Elpida will also appeal to Rexchip plants that will dedicate 50% of its production capacity for these new chips.

The company also signed a partnership with Powerchip and which marks his return to the DRAM market after leaving the ship in January due to restructuring. The chips manufactured by Rexchip and Powerchip will be stamped with the logo Elpida.
