South Korean electronics giant, Samsung Electronics, has reportedly announced that it has developed a novel graphics DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory) chip that comes with enhanced power efficiency and faster speed.

According to a company statement, the Graphics Double Data Rate 6 (GDDR6) DRAM has a 24 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) processing speed and is based on the firm’s third-gen, 10-nanometer technology, which is 30% more efficient than previously available 18Gbps products.

The new chip’s rate of processing graphic images goes up to 1.1 TB per second, claimed to be the fastest across the globe, equivalent to transferring more than 275 full HD films in one second, as per the tech firm.

Graphics DRAMs are utilized mostly in personal computers, notebooks, high-powered 3D gaming consoles, or other devices to play high-resolution videos. They hold great potential to be utilized in self-driving and electric cars, as well as in high-performance computing applications in the coming years.

In its statement, Samsung stated that the chip has been specifically designed to significantly boost graphics performance of next-gen game consoles, laptops, and graphics cards, and also for high-performance computing and AI-based applications.

Leveraging the alleged dynamic voltage scaling technology, the latest DRAM is capable of enhancing power efficiency by over 20%,

Daniel Lee, Executive VP, Memory Product Planning Team, Samsung Electronics, stated that as the sampling of its industry-first 24Gbps GDDR6 begins, the firm is hoping to endorse the graphics DRAM on next-gen GPU platforms by reducing time to market and fulfill the onslaught of new demand.

Samsung hopes to become a leader in the global graphics DRAM market by initiating mass production of its new chip. It predicts a double-digit growth annually in its high-performance graphics division.

With the customer verifications commencing this month onwards, the firm plans to commercialize the new DRAM along with GPU platform launches, which will speed up graphics innovation across the high-speed computing market.

The DRAM chip also meets the standards set by the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, signifying its easy adoption by graphics and artificial intelligence companies.

Two of world’s top three PC manufacturers, namely Hewlett-Packard Company and Dell Technologies Inc., have reported considerable profits owing to the burgeoning demand for personal computers amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the two companies, PC demand is likely to continue even after the Coronavirus pandemic is under control, with students and people returning to schools and offices respectively.

Reportedly, the pandemic and the subsequent lockdown that has lasted for months has fueled the use of computers for learning, personal communication, and gaming purposes.

Enrique Lores, Chief Executive Officer at HP, mentioned that the overall market has witnessed significant growth in almost a decade, will continue to expand in 2021 backed by growing demand for laptops. The Coronavirus pandemic has made technology more fundamental lately, Lores added.

Jeff Clarke, Chief Operating Officer at Dell, reportedly said that many school children still require laptops, and businesses are expected to reopen offices that are equipped with old PCs and need a replacement.

However, some HP executives predict that customer demand will decrease as more people return to the routine they followed before the lockdown. The company claims that with people resuming work from office, companies and other organizations will begin spending on their respective in-house hardware.

Dell, which has delivered a significant number of units last quarter, reported a shortage of specific types of chips, particularly those that power displays and memory card readers. The company observed an increase of 9% in sales to USD 26.1 billion, as compared to the average analyst estimation of USD 24.5 billion.

As per credible sources, the revenue of Dell from its consumer PC business in Q4 2020 soared by 19% whereas that of HP jumped by 34%, with the latter recording a revenue of USD 15.6 billion last year.

Apart from HP and Dell, several other PC manufacturers believe that the soaring demand for notebooks from customers that helped them study and work from home amidst the pandemic will persist even when the restrictions ease.
