Samsung Electronics, the world’s largest maker of various dynamic random access memory, said on Thursday that it had started mass production of GDDR5 memory chips using 50 nm process technology. The new fabrication process allows the devices to reach unprecedented clock-speeds and trim power consumption.
這世界上最大的動態隨機存取記憶體製造商三星電子，周四宣布他準備開始大量生產使用50奈米製程科技的GDDR5記憶體顆粒。最新的製作方式允許裝置達到之前達不到的時脈速度以及削減電源需求。

“Our early 2009 introduction of GDDR5 chips will help us to meet the growing demand for higher performance graphics memory in PCs, graphic cards and game consoles. Because GDDR5 is the fastest and highest performing memory in the world, we’re able to improve the gaming experience with it across all platforms,” said Mueez Deen, director of mobile and graphics memory, Samsung Semiconductor.
三星半導體的手持裝置及繪圖記憶體主任說"我們在2009年初介紹GDDR5晶片將會幫助我們達到PC中的高階效能級繪圖記憶體以及顯示卡和遊戲的成長。因為GDDR5是世上最快以及最高級的記憶體，我們能夠讓它在各種平台上增進遊戲體驗。"


The new GDDR5 memory chips are not only capable of working at up to 7GHz clock-speeds, but also use 1.35V voltage, a reduction from 1.425V – 1.575V voltage of currently available GDDR5 memory chips from Samsung. Moreover, the new GDDR5 devices are cheaper to produce: by adopting 50nm class technology, Samsung expects production efficiency to rise 100% over 60nm class technology.
新的GDDR5記憶體顆粒不只能在高達7G的時脈下運作，也從三星現今能入手的GDDR5記憶體晶片的1.425V-1.575V電壓降到1.35V。
此外，新的GDDR5晶片對產品而言比較便宜:採用50奈米技術後，三星預測產品效能比60奈米科技的效能多出超過100％。
7GHz GDDR5 chips could provide 224GB/s or 448GB/s peak bandwidth when connected to a processor using 256-bit or 512-bit memory bus, respectively. It is unclear which of the forthcoming graphics cards will utilize 7GHz GDDR5 chips, but since both ATI, graphics products group of Advanced Micro Devices, and Nvidia Corp. are projected to release their new high-end graphics solutions later this year, it is definite that high-speed memory will be in demand.
當分別連接使用256bit或是512bit的記憶體溝通橋樑時，7G GDDR5晶片可以提供高達224GB/s或448GB/s的頻寬。不確定哪張未來的的顯示卡將會使用7GHz GDDR5晶片，但自從AMD的繪圖產品部門ATI，以及NVIDIA公司都計畫在今年稍晚發表它們的新高階繪圖解決方案。很確定的是高速記憶體將會有很大的需求。

Samsung’s new GDDR5 chips are now available in 32Mb x32 configuration (128MB) and are also configurable as a 64Mb x16 device.
三星的新GDDR5顆粒會以32Mb x 32的配置(128mb)以及也會有64Mb x 16的裝置。

Samsung expects GDDR5 to account for over 20% of the total graphic memory market in 2009. The company also said it plans to expand the 50-nm process technology throughout its graphics memory line-up this year.
三星預期GDDR5在2009年中會在整個繪圖記憶體市場上佔有超過20％的市佔率。這公司也說他計畫今年擴展50奈米的技術在他整個繪圖記憶體的陣容上。
