Samsung Breaks the 10nm DRAM Barrier With New 4F Cell Structure That Boosts Density By Up to 50%
Samsung has reportedly produced the world's first standalone DRAM module that uses a process tech below 10nm.
Note: The “1x, 1y, 1z, 1a…” naming is just the DRAM industry’s generational shorthand — each step is a shrink within the broad “10nm-class” umbrella, not a distinct architecture change. The progression: |Gen|Approx. node|Era | |---|------------|---------------------------| |1x |~18–19nm |~[2016–2017](tel:2016-2017)| |1y |~17nm |~2018 | |1z |~15–16nm |~[2019–2020](tel:2019-2020)| |1a |~14nm |~2021 | |1b…
