BOISE, Idaho, May 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron
Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU), one of the world's leading
providers of advanced semiconductor solutions, today
announced development of its first fully functional DDR4 DRAM
module. The company has begun sampling and has received
feedback from major customers to support quick implementation
for applications in 2013.
It is expected that the enterprise and micro-server markets
will take full advantage of the new features and
specifications designed into DDR4, accelerating early
adoption of the technology. In addition, the fast-growing
ultrathin client and tablet markets will also benefit from
new opportunities enabled by the power savings and
performance features of Micron's DDR4.
Codeveloped by Nanya and based on Micron's 30-nanometer
(nm) technology, the 4-gigabit (Gb) DDR4 x8 part is the first
piece of what is expected to be the industry's most
complete portfolio of DDR4-based modules, which will include
RDIMMs, LRDIMMs, 3DS, SODIMMs and UDIMMs (standard and ECC).
For the soldered down space, x8, x16, and x32 components will
also be available, with initial speeds up to 2400
megatransfers per second (MT/s), increasing to the
JEDEC-defined 3200 MT/s.
"With the JEDEC definition for DDR4 very near
finalization, we've put significant effort into ensuring
that our first DDR4 product is as JEDEC-compatible as it can
be at this final stage of its development," said Brian
Shirley, vice president for Micron's DRAM Solutions
Group. "We've provided samples to key partners
in the market place with confidence that the die we give them
now is the same die we will take into mass production."
As JEDEC finalizes the DDR4 specifications, Micron is
positioned to quickly become fully compliant with its 30nm
4Gb DDR4 part. Full sampling to key partners began earlier
this year and volume production is planned for 4Q12.
