Samsung Electronics said on Wednesday that it has succeeded in building the world's first 2-gigabit DDR2 DRAM using 60-nanometer process technology.
The new chip can process the equivalent of seven or eight months' worth of newspaper text per second. The company said the next-generation product is set to become a category leader next year.
So far Samsung has been making 2Gb DDR2 chips using 80-nm process technology, which is about 40 percent less efficient than the finer 60-nm process technology.
Samsung plans to begin mass producing the chips soon. By mass producing using the 60-nm process, Samsung should continue to have the upper hand over rival semiconductor makers in future.
The company produced the world's first 1-gigabit DDR2 DRAM chip using 60-nm process technology in March.
