News Summary
- The earliest time that you can expect DDR6 to arrive on consumer platforms is late 2029, according to sources with knowledge of the matter.
- Just like logic chips, to improve the performance, power, and area (PPA) of new DRAM device, memory makers need to utilize new process technologies.
- The leading memory makers — Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix — have developed multiple generations of 10nm-class fabrication processes, starting from 17nm – 19nm in the mid-2010s.
When the DDR5 specification was introduced in 2020, one of the things that impressed us was the headroom left for further development of the technology, both in terms of performance and in terms of p [+10044 chars]
