Samsung Develops 50-Nanometer DDR DRAM

Samsung Electronics has developed the first DDR2 DRAM chips in the world using 50-nanometer manufacturing technology, an important improvement as PC manufacturers gear up for adoption of Microsoft's Vista OS.

Although the world's largest DRAM maker won't use the 50nm technology in mass production until 2008, the development shows that memory chip makers are preparing for the transition to Vista. Market researcher Gartner, for one, expects a gradual shift to Vista by users, and memory chips are going to be a key consideration for systems makers and users.

Memory-Hungry Vista

Microsoft has already offered two sets of guidelines for hardware makers readying Vista-ready PCs and laptops. Systems with 512MB of DRAM will win a Windows Vista Capable PC logo from Microsoft. PC systems with 1GB will gain a Windows Vista Premium Ready logo, which Microsoft says means "an even better" user experience, including for example, real-time thumbnail previews; new 3-D task switching; and interface scaling.

PC vendors have already started adding more DRAM to systems to ensure they're Vista-ready, a guarantee to users that purchasing a PC right now won't mean the system will be obsolete soon after the actual launch of Vista.

"Most 'Vista-Ready' PCs have 1GB of DDR2 inside, and the 'consumer PCs' usually have 2GB," said Ben Tseng, a vice president at Taiwanese DRAM maker ProMOS Technologies. The move by PC makers to ensure new systems are Vista-capable has already increased the average amount of DRAM per PC to 800MB in the third quarter, he added, and the company expects average DRAM content-per- PC to increase to 900MB in the fourth quarter.

DRAM Shortage Looming?

DRAM is a potential fly in the ointment for a quick ramp up of Vista next year. There may not be enough to go around if users buy new Vista PCs immediately. Memory chip makers have focused on building production lines for more lucrative NAND flash memory in recent years, due to strong user demand for iPods, digital cameras, and other NAND-hungry gadgets. Rapid price increases for DDR2 in recent months has helped steer attention back to DRAM, but it's a bit late, since it usually takes more than a year to build a new DRAM factory, and costs billions of dollars.

The best way to increase chip production without an entire new factory is to shrink manufacturing technology, such as Samsung's 50nm success. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, and the term describes the size of the smallest features on a chip. In general, making the features smaller increases the number of chips a company can produce per month on one line, as well as improving chip speed and power efficiency.

Samsung says the 50nm technology will increase production efficiency by 55 percent over its 60nm production process, and lower per-chip costs. Most DRAM makers currently use 90nm technology for the bulk of their chip manufacturing these days, while some have made the transition to smaller 80nm and 70nm sizes.

The key to the vastly improved production technologies at 50nm were several chip design improvements, Samsung said, such as the use of a special 3D transistor, called a selective epitaxial growth transistor (SEG tr), that reduces chip power consumption and increases performance by optimizing the speed of each chip's electrons. Samsung also tweaked the design to increase storage capacity and improve storage reliability.

Hey Gals - do you know what guys think?


1. Guys don't actually look after good-looking girls. they prefer neat and presentable girls.

2. Guys hate flirts.

3.When a guy says he doesn't understand you, it simply means you're not thinking the way he is.

4. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

5. When a guy really likes you, he'll disregard all your bad characteristics.

10. You have to tell a guy what you really want before he gets the message clearly.

11. Guys love their moms.

12. A guy would sacrifice his money for lunch just to get you a couple of roses.

13. A guy often thinks about the girl who likes him. But this doesn't mean that the guy likes her.

14. You can never understand him unless you listen to him.

15. If a guy tells you he loves you once in a lifetime. He does.

16. Beware. Guys can make gossips scatter through half of the face of the earth faster than girls can.

17. Like Eve, girls are guys' weaknesses.

18. Guys are very open about themselves.

19. It's good to test a guy first before you believe him. But don't let him wait that long.

20. Guys hate it when their clothes get dirty. Even a small dot.

21. Guys really admire girls that they like even if they're not that much pretty.

22. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice ... very true.

23. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

24. Guys cannot keep secrets that girls tell them.

25. Guys think too much.

26. Guys fantasies are unlimited.

27. Girls' height doesn't really matter to a guy but her weight does! ... very true.

28. Guys tend to get serious with their relationship and become too possessive. So watch out girls!!!

29. Guys are more talkative than girls are especially when the topic is about girls.

30. You can truly say that a guy has good intentions if you see him praying sometimes.

31. If a guy says you're beautiful, that guy likes you.

A CUP OF TIPS TO START UP THE DAY


LESSON 1
A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears. The ghost says, "Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each" So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries." Pfufffff. and he was gone.
Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be In Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pfufffff. and he was also gone. The boss calmly said, "I want these two idiots back in the office after
lunch at 12.35pm."


MORAL OF THE STORY IS: "ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSS TO SPEAK FIRST"


LESSON 2
Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand, "Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?" "Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. "Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. "I just need one copy."

LESSON II: "NEVER, NEVER ASSUME THAT YOUR BOSS KNOWS EVERYTHING"


LESSON 3
An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA When the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of -ese are you?" The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean." The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?" Again, the Japanese was confused over he question. The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What kind of -ese are you ... Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese!, etc......??? " The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese." A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked What kind Of 'key' was he. The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what kind of -kee'am I ?!" The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, donkee, or monkee?"

LESSON III: "NEVER INSULT ANYONE"


LESSON 4
There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French, who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appeared. Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, He said, "Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you A wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to become, then your wish will come true." The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted, "WINE". The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool. Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of vodka. The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER". He was so contented with his beer pool. The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly He steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted, "SHIT!!!!!!! ......... "

LESSON IV: "THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING, BECAUSE SOMETIMES ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN"


LESSON 5
The organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was In charge. Each organ took a turn to speak up: Brain....... .. I should be in charge because I run all body functions. Blood....... . I should be in charge because I circulate oxygen for the brain. Stomach... I should be in charge because I process food to the brain.
Legs........ . I should be in charge because I take the brain where it Wants to go. Eyes........ . I should be in charge because I let the brain see where it's going. Asshole..... I should be in charge because I get rid of your waste. All the other parts laughed so hard and this made the asshole very mad. To prove his point, the asshole immediately slammed tightly closed and Stayed that way for 6 days, refusing to rid the body of any waste whatsoever. Day 1 - Brain got a terrible headache and cried out for relief Day 2 - Stomach got bloated and began to ache terribly Day 3 - Legs got cramps and became unstable Day 4 - Eyes became watery and vision became blurred Day 5 - Blood became toxic and poisoned the body Day 6 -The other organs agreed to let the asshole be in charge.

MORAL OF THE STORY: "NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, OR HOW IMPORTANT YOU THINK YOU ARE, YOU WILL FIND THAT IT IS ALWAYS THE ASSHOLE THAT IS IN CHARGE"
