In a press release last week Samsung, world leader in memory manufacturing, has announced it achieved an increase in data speed of world’s fastest memory for graphic cads, the GDDR 4. If you think there success is just a regular announcement you are wrong as the increase in speed is considerable, Samsung managing to achieve a 66% progress.

Built with the 80 nm technology, the new 512Mb density GDDR4 memory runs at 4Gb/s (2.0GHz) while the fastest GDDR4 available today on the market reaches just a 2.4Gb/s. As you probably know, memory is one of the key factors in current graphic cards performance and we can barely wait to see the progress Samsung’s new product will offer.

On the same memory topic, Samsung announced today it will start mass producing its 1 GB DDR2 memory using the 60 nm technology. By taking this step, Samsung will leap ahead of its competitors that still use only the 80 nm process, as the new technology provides 40% production efficiency.
