Samsung should soon finish DDR4 chipset manufacturing

In addition to mobile phones, Samsung is one of the leading memory chips manufacturers on the planet, but at the end of 2025, DDR4 chips should finish production for memories of RAM. Information comes from the site Digitimes AsiaAccording to its sources, the South Korean company will focus on new technologies such as DDR5 modules.

According to the calculation, Samsung set June as the deadline for the production of DDR4 chips for the production of partners. The company’s latest posts are planned to be realized in December this year8 and 16 GB modules for laptops and table computers.

Although the DDR4 memories are not the end of their memories, other companies will still produce parts, and the end of the technology cycle is close. The DDR4 models, which were released in 2014, are generally sold in 2,660 frequency or up to 3,200 MHz and some factory overclocking options.

In Brazil, at very affordable prices, these components can be found at a price of less than $ 150 in retail sales. However, with the evolution of technology and further calculation, many users jump directly to 16 GB options on computer or laptop.

Evolution and Chinese competition

One reason Samsung decides to end the production of DDR4 chips is related to the open evolution of other formats. The DDR5 protocol, introduced with 12th generation Intel in 2021, came with more than one improvement compared to his younger brother, such as superior frequencies and double communication channels placed in each comb.

As brands such as AMD and Intel only launch generations with compatibility with DDR5, the natural step of the industry is to gradually abandon the DDR4. However, in countries such as Brazil, where hardware costs are high and prices are slow, we should see many DDR4 combs for a while.

Another reason is the competitiveness of Chinese brands in the sector. Companies like CXMT and Fujian Jinhua have reduced the price of RAM DDR4 memories more than 50%and made the models very attractive to the public.And to do something that other giant manufacturers like Samsung and Micron and Sk Hynix cannot do.
