Samsung's High Density 4Gbyte Memory Modules Verified and Supported By AMD Opteron Processor-Based Servers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 2004 Samsung Electronics Samsung Electronics (SEC, Hangul:삼성전자; KSE: 005930, KSE: 005935, LSE: SMSN, LSE: SMSD) is a South Korean multinational corporation and the world's largest and leading electronics and information technology company. Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced semiconductor memory technology, today announced that its four gigabyte (GB) Registered Dual In-Line Memory Modules (RDIMMS) are supported by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. ) 64-bit Opteron(TM) processor-based platforms. The 4GB modules, which use one gigabit (Gb) DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory 1 SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. as base components, optimize the performance of servers and workstations based on the AMD Opteron processor, the industry's first 64-bit processor compatible with the industry-standard x86 architecture The generic term x86 refers to the "CISC" type instruction set of the most commercially successful CPU architecture[1] in the history of personal computing, used in processors from Intel, AMD, VIA, and others. . "Samsung has worked with AMD to support AMD64 technology, helping us deliver one of the industry's highest density memory solutions optimized to support server and workstation makers in this fast growing market," said Jon Kang, Samsung's San Jose, Calif.-based senior vice president of technical marketing. "Our ability to provide AMD64-compatible memory modules based on the latest 1Gb device technology ensures that our customers can realize the full power of 64-bit processor-based platforms." "The AMD Opteron processor delivers outstanding 32- and 64-bit performance for servers and workstations, offering designers high memory density and ultimate performance for server systems," said Ben Williams For the NFL football player of the same name see Ben Williams (football player). Benjamin Philip "Ben" Williams (born 27 August 1982, Manchester, England) is an English Footballer who currently plays for Crewe Alexandra. Williams is a goalkeeper. , director of AMD's Server/Workstation Business Segment. "AMD is committed to offering customers a highly flexible platform that can handle some of the most compute-intensive demands." Samsung's 4GB modules are built using 1Gb DDR1 SDRAMs, with each 4GB module encompassing 36, 1Gb components. Server manufacturers will benefit from the high-capacity modules, made available by Samsung's 1Gb technology, allowing for a maximum capacity of 128GB in a 4-way AMD Opteron processor-based server and up to 256GB in an 8-way AMD Opteron processor-based servers.
