Samsung Unveils New Powerhouse Fusion Memory Solution - OneDRAM(TM).SEOUL, South Korea -- Third graph, first sentence of release should read: The 133MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. 512Mb device incorporates a dual-port approach to sharply decrease the time that it takes to transfer data between processors. (sted The 133MHz 512Mb device incorporates a dual-port approach to sharply increase the time that it takes to transfer data between processors.) The corrected release reads: SAMSUNG UNVEILS NEW POWERHOUSE FUSION MEMORY SOLUTION - ONEDRAM([TM]) 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 technology solutions, today announced that it has developed a prototype fusion memory chip that can significantly increase the 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 between processors in mobile applications. Samsung's new fusion solution, OneDRAM, is expected to be specified in the design of handsets, game consoles See video game console. and in other digital applications, especially those that use 3-dimensional graphics. The 133MHz 512Mb device incorporates a dual-port approach to sharply decrease the time that it takes to transfer data between processors. Data managed by the processors is housed in a shared bank where the space for storing the data can be adjusted accordingly. This meets the JEDEC The division of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) that deals with semiconductor standards (officially, the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association of EIA). JEDEC was formed in 1958 when the Joint Electron Tube Engineering Council (JETEC) split into two Joint Electron Device , low power, double-data-rate (LPDDR) memory standard. Due to rapidly increasing demand for multimedia features in mobile applications, designers have been specifying the use of two separate processors - a communication processor and a media processor. The new OneDRAM will channel data between the processors through a single chip eliminating the need to also specify DRAM and SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory chips for buffer memory. Along with the faster data processing speeds between the processors, the OneDRAM reduces power consumption by 30 percent, lessens the number of chips needed and minimizes area coverage by 50 percent, resulting in a five-fold increase in the speed of cell phone and gaming console See video game console. operations, longer battery life and slimmer handset designs. A single OneDRAM can replace, at least, two mobile memories in high-end smart phones and other multimedia-rich handsets. In addition, by adjusting the hardware in the chipset, OneDRAM can cost-effectively reduce system circuitry, while maximizing overall operational efficiency. Following the first fusion memory, OneNAND(TM), this second generation of fusion memory technology from Samsung has effectively transformed the memory chip from a simple working memory to a component that enables dramatically improved system performance. Samsung expects its OneDRAM to be introduced in handsets by the second half of 2007. About Samsung Electronics Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a global leader in semiconductor, telecommunication, digital media and digital convergence In the days of the first computers, transaction and company data were the first types of information digitized.
