Despite the paralyzing economy that has left the DRAM Industry begging for loans from the government in many countries, Samsung has continued to innovate with its DRAM offerings. Samsung has announced that it developed the world's highest density DRAM chips by unveiling the first 4Gb DDR3 DRAM chip.

The new chip is built on the 50nm process. The chip is low power and will help to reduce operation costs in datacenters and improve server time management and overall efficiency. The new chips can be produced in 16GB registered dual in-line memory modules (RDIMM) for servers and 8GB unbuffered DIMM for workstation and desktop PCs.

The new chips will also find their way into laptops as 8GB small outline DIMM (SODIMM). The new DRAM operates with only 1.35 volts making a 20% improvement over the 1.5V DDR3 currently available. The chips have a maximum speed of 1.6 Gbps.
