Samsung Electronics unveiled a number of new innovations with the concept 'Green Memory' in mind, which focuses their efforts to develop eco friendly semiconductor technology. Samsung Electronics has pushed forward the 'Green Memory Campaign' alongside server companies since last year, and unveiled some differentiated eco friendly DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DRAM, SSD (Solid State Drive), LPDDR2 (Low Power Double Data Rate 2) mobile DRAM and the GDDR5 (Graphics Double Data Rate 5) which are 'the 4 Green Memory' products. These four products and next generation memory PRAMs suggested the low-voltage solution to the thematic environmental problem, which formed the exhibition concept of displaying the results of green memory.
First of all, DDR3s are DRAMS used in notebooks, desktops and servers, which Samsung Electronics showed from 60nm-class DDR2 to first ever 30nm-class 1.35V 2Gb DDR3 all in one graph on a single monitor in order to show that relative to the current DDR2 products there is a 70% decrease in power usage and over 100% increase in performance. This product line is used widely, so an improvement in performance would have big effects, as well as greater levels of environmental protection from decrease in power usage. In addition, LPDDR2 provides an optimal solution for high performance mobile devices including the smart phone amidst great changes in the mobile industry due to the release of several multifunction smart phones. Meanwhile GDDR5, a product specializing in high load graphic memory processing required by devices such as graphic cards, digital TVs and settop boxes is expected to expand in usage following the rising demands of high performance low power graphic memory caused by Full HD imagery, 3D graphics and enlargements of displays.
Lastly, Samsung showed how PC systems can enhance performance by attaching SSDs instead of traditional HDDs and testing the different settings on two different PCs. The difference was shown by rebooting the system and launching 4 major application programs and displaying results such as loading time. Samsung electronics has applied the NAND flash technology for the first time in SSDs while also applying NAND flash to traditional 64GB, 128GB and 256GB products, showing the will to strengthen their position as the leader in high capacity, high performance premium SSD market and NAND flash memory industry by exhibiting differentiated business capability.
