Samsung Electronics announced that it is working to improve DRAM integration density in the AI era. Having started mass production of 12nm-class DRAM in May, Samsung is developing next-generation 11nm-class DRAM aiming for the industry's highest level of integration density. The company is currently preparing to introduce a 3D new structure in DRAM below 10nm, planning to expand capacity to over 100Gb (gigabits) on a single chip through this innovation.
Samsung is also developing the highest number of layers in 9th-generation V-NAND and has successfully secured operational chips for mass production early next year. By reducing the cell's planar area and height to decrease volume and utilizing core technology to increase the number of layers, Samsung plans to prepare for the era of 1000-layer V-NAND.
Samsung unveiled the next-generation HBM3E DRAM, 'Shinebolt,' for the first time. Since commercializing HBM2 for high-performance computing (HPC) in 2016, Samsung has pioneered the HBM era and focused on developing next-generation DRAM.
'Shinebolt' offers high performance of up to 9.8Gbps per data input/output pin. This speed can process over 1.2TB of data per second (equivalent to processing 40 UHD movies of 30GB capacity in just one second). By optimizing NCF (Non-Conductive Film) technology, the chips are tightly stacked without gaps to achieve high-layer stacking, and thermal conductivity is maximized to improve thermal characteristics. Samsung stated that it is currently delivering HBM3E samples of the next-generation product to customers.

Samsung Electronics also introduced solutions supporting high performance, high capacity, low power consumption, and small form factors at the user device level. In particular, the industry's first 7.5Gbps LPDDR5X CAMM2, developed by Samsung, attracted attention as a product that will change the landscape of the next-generation PC and laptop DRAM market. Additionally, Samsung showcased the 'Detachable AutoSSD,' which enables storage virtualization by partitioning a single SSD for use by multiple SoCs. This product supports a continuous read speed of up to 6500MB/s and offers a capacity of 4TB. It is implemented in a detachable form factor, allowing easy SSD replacement and facilitating performance upgrades.
Lee Jung-bae, President of Samsung Electronics Memory Business, said, "The era of ultra-large-scale AI is a point where technological innovation and growth opportunities intersect, marking a time of greater leaps and challenges for the industry. We will continue to lead the memory market by providing expanded solutions that transcend limits." He added, "We will overcome the challenges faced in the ultra-large-scale AI era by introducing new structures and materials."
