For the consumer market

Samsung has entered mass production of the first 4TB QLC SATA SSDs for the consumer market. The news comes from the Flash Memory Summit, an annual storage conference where all of the newest flash and memory tech is announced.


Mass production of second gen 10nm LPDDR4X memory

The company has announced today that it's mass production of second gen 10nm LPDDR4X memory chips have started. Since the market is moving on to LPDDR4X memory now, Samsung doesn't want stay behind other competitors.


A kick in the butt of a declining market

For a few years the South Korean electronics giant has already been working on a foldable smartphone and more than once an actual device was expected to launch. According to the Wall Street Journal Samsung is going to launch a foldable model for good by the beginning of next year and the price could be a whopping $1500 US.


With up to 6.4Gbps transfer speed

Samsung has announced the first 8 gigabit LPDDR5 DRAM chip, raising data rates up to 6.4Gbps-per-pin. The mass production is still rather far away, but this new chip should improve artificial intelligence technology in smartphones in a couple of years.


With 3840 x 1200 resolution

Samsung has unveiled a new ultrawide format in the market with the upcoming C43J89. The monitor is based on a rather unusual 3840 x 1200 resolution and a massive 1800R curved display. With the C43J89, Samsung offers a 32:10 aspect ratio gaming monitor which acts like two 1920x1200 monitors side-by-side.


Higher capacity and lower power draw

According to the latest communication from Samsung, they’ve just launched the fifth iteration of their V-NAND based memory chips for SSDs. By now these chips boast 96 layers and the storage density per chip is 256Gb.


Impressive capacity

Samsung has announced the release of the NF1 8TB, its highest-density datacenter NVMe drive. With the NF1 SSD, Samsung expects to quickly replace conventional 2.5-inch SSDs and create impressive storage space in 2U rack servers.



Thanks to AMD

A few weeks ago, we have read rumors about the first Samsung with FreeSync technology. It looks like that Samsung together with AMD will relesease an update for several QLED TV from 55-inch to 82-inch with FreeSync inside. Furthermore also the NU8000 and NU8500 series will come with this feature.


With 5K resolution

According to TFT Central, Samsung is working on a new ultra wide display. The monitor is based on a rather unusual 5120 x 1440 resolution and a massive 1800R curved display. Furthermore the display might support AMD FreeSync 2 which allows the panel to communicate with your PC sharing colour space information, brightness values apart from the variable refresh rate information.


Featuring 970 PRO and 970 EVO

Samsung has launched its new 970 PRO and EVO M.2 NVMe SSDs. The South Korean electronics giant claims that these upcoming high-performance storage units are perfect for tech enthusiasts and professionals. Compared to the previous generation, they can deliver up to 30 per cent more sequential write speeds.

Samsung has launched its new 970 PRO and EVO M.2 NVMe SSDs. The South Korean electronics giant claims that these upcoming high-performance storage units are perfect for tech enthusiasts and professionals. Compared to the previous generation, they can deliver up to 30 per cent more sequential write speeds.


Impressive capacity

Samsung has announced the release of the PM883 8TB, its highest-density datacenter SATA drive. With the PM883 SSD, Samsung is the first company to pair LPDDR4 DRAM (16GB) modules with SATA interface. Furthermore the drive is SATA 3.3-compliant, in other words it allows power management in individual SSD units.



Second memory chip line in South Korea

During the last year, the tech world has been suffering from a shortage in memory chip manufacturing. This has led to huge price hikes in RAM and even SSDs. In addition we have seen several high-end smartphones that required samsung memory chips. This situation has been pretty bad for DIY system builders since it was pretty hard find components at reasonable prices.


1.5GB RAM cache

NVMe capable SSDs are growing increasingly popular these days, offering much higher transfer speeds than your usual SATA drive. New markets always offer new opportunities and that on the other hand means that different vendors will launch new products. Samsung today announced the SZ985 800GB Z-SSD, targeted at enterprises and data-centers with high bandwidth demands. The drives come in the half-height add-on card form-factor and it's using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 host interface.


Up to 4TB capacity

Samsung has shown their 860 EVO SSDs series, which are based on 3D-VNAND Flash memory. The 860 EVO drives are available with 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacity. The drive will be available in three form factors: 7 mm-thick 2.5-inch, M.2-2280 and mSATA.


First company to produce GDDR6 memory chips

Samsung is the first company ready to produce GDDR6 memory chips on large scale. The company has beaten SK Hynix and Micron, the other two big memory manufacturers. Samsung's 16Gb (2GB) chips are fabricated on a 10nm process and run at 1.35V.


Aiming supercomputing and graphics cards

Samsung has started production of its second generation HBM2 named Aquabolt. The new High Bandwidth Memory is the first to deliver 2.4 gigabits-per-second (Gbps) data transfer speed per pin. This chips are aimed at the supercomputing and the graphics card market. According to Samsung this chips are more than 9 times faster than GDDR5 chips.


With Thunderbolt 3

Ahead of the CES 2018, Samsung has unveiled the first monitor with Intel Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. The new Samsung CJ791 is a 34-inch curved screen model, featuring the Intel 40Gbps USB Type-C interface which can be used for both video signal and power delivery.



Power usage reduced by 15%

If you have built a PC lately, you will probably know that if you want fast memory modules you have to use Samsung based RAM. According the latest rumors, the company's memory might get even faster pretty soon. Samsung has just announced that it's moving into second generation of 10nm DDR4 DRAM memory.


Compatible with DisplayHDR 600 standard

A few days ago, Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) was rolling out DisplayHDR standards. VESA with the DisplayHDR introduces three new standards: DisplayHDR 400, DisplayHDR 600 and DisplayHDR 1000. Having received DisplayHDR certification, it looks like that the CHG90 can achieve the luminescence, black levels and colour accuracy needed to hit the demanding DisplayHDR 600 standard.
