Samsung Launches Mass Production of 576Mb RDRAM.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SEOUL, Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 2003 Migration to Higher Density Confirms Samsung's Continued Support For High-End Computer and Network System Makers That Use RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) Pronounced "r-d-ram." A dynamic RAM chip technology from Rambus, Inc., Los Altos, CA (www.rambus.com). Rambus licensed its memory designs to semiconductor companies, which manufactured the chips. Technology 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 said that it has begun mass production of 576-Megabit (Mb) RDRAM(R). The high performance memory device, which achieves a record data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a speed of 1,200-Megabits-per-second (Mbps), will provide a competitive edge for manufacturers of high performance computers such as supercomputers, and high-end servers and network systems. "Samsung's migration to higher density RDRAM devices demonstrates the company's continued commitment to high performance systems makers that depend on RDRAM," said Tom Quinn Tom Quinn is the fictional Senior Case Officer, Section D, at MI5's Counter-Terrorism Department, as seen in BBC spy drama Spooks. He was portrayed by actor Matthew Macfadyen until his departure in the third season. , Samsung's U.S. vice president of memory sales and marketing. "Rambus DRAM provides memory performance advantage for manufacturers of supercomputers, advanced servers and OC-48 and higher network equipment developers." The 576Mb RDRAM-based module is available in densities of up to 1-Gigabytes (GB) in a wide selection of memory module options including: 16-bit RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Module) See RDRAM. See also RIM. , 32-bit RIMM, SoRIMM, NexMod, and 4-channel RIMM. Based on 0.11 micron process technology, the new RDRAM operates at an industry leading 2.4 Gigabyte-per-second (GBps) on a single channel and reaches 9.6GBps in a 4-channel system -- one and a half times the bandwidth of dual-channel DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus.
