Qimonda develops 46nm DDR3 memory modules
Qimonda has made an advance in the development of superfast DDR3 memory. The firm recently announced that it has successfully developed the world’s first DDR3 memory modules using the latest 46nm fabrication process. The new 46nm technology will triple the number of chips per wafer compared with the current 75nm technology, and thus is expected to increase production efficiency by 200 percent. Furthermore, preliminary results show that power consumption will be reduced by up to 75 percent.
“We are confident that our new technology is the key innovation for us to move onwards into a lucrative future,” says Thomas Seifert, CFO and COO of Qimonda AG. “The first successful test runs with the new 46nm module generation and the customer feedback up to now have been very encouraging.”
