SK Hynix, the world’s second-largest memory chip maker, has developed the industry’s first sixth-generation 10-nanometre dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chip with reduced power consumption than older models.
The Nvidia supplier said the chip, called 16Gb 1c DDR5, has improved power efficiency from the previous generation chip by more than 9 percent.
This can help data centres reduce electricity costs by as much as 30 percent during the current artificial intelligence (AI) boom. SK Hynix plans to start volume shipment of the chip next year.
