SK Hynix beats Samsung in 1c DDR5 DRAM development
Samsung rival SK Hynix managed to develop 1c DDR5 DRAM. The company became with world’s first to develop advanced memory technology. It will pave the way for even faster mobile experiences amid the AI boom.
SK Hynix today announced that it has developed a Gen 6 10nm 1c 16Gb DDR5 DRAM. The Korean company achieved this milestone, defeating its local rival, Samsung Electronics. SK Hynix said it will start supplying its latest DRAM next year.
It’s worth noting that Samsung commenced manufacturing 1b DDR5 DRAM in May. Both companies have had back and forth between them as Samsung in May outpaced SK Hynix by 10 days in starting to manufacture the memory.
The 1c DDR5 has a speed of 8Gbps, 11% faster than 1b, while power efficiency was also improved by 9%. The chip was developed 1c by expanding its previous 1b platform.
The South Korean memory vendor developed new materials for certain EUV processes and increased productivity by 30% compared to its predecessor.
“We are committed to providing differentiated values to customers by applying the 1c technology equipped with the best performance and cost competitiveness to our major next-generation products including HBM1, LPDDR62, and GDDR73,” said Head of DRAM Development Kim Jonghwan. “We will continue to work towards maintaining the leadership in the DRAM space and position as the most-trusted AI memory solution provider.”
Pixel 9’s AI Magic Editor features could be coming to older models through Google Photos. The company seemingly working to optimize two new Magic Editor features called Auto Frame and Reimagine for older Pixel phones.
AndroidAuthority reports that Pixel 9’s AI-powered Auto Frame and Reimagine features could come to Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel 8 series with Google Photos update. This surprising info was discovered right under the codes and strings of Google Photos APK.
Code and strings related to the Pixel 9’s Reimagine and Auto Frame appearing in the Google Photos app for Pixel 6 to Pixel 8. It’s a clear indication that the US tech giant plans to roll out Pixel 9 features across Tensor-powered models.
Google’s new Pixel 9 introduces cool camera features such as Add Me, Video Boost with Night Sight, and more. The company has a habit of expanding newly added features with select older models that fulfill hardware requirements.
The new Magic Editor’s Auto Frame automatically frames your chosen subject, even if that requires expanding the image using AI. Whereas Reimagine lets you change backgrounds with the power of generative artificial intelligence.
Google Photos could add these new features in a future Feature Drop. The company may also expand the new additions to all Android phones through a Google One subscription, the same way Pixel 8’s Magic Editor rolled out earlier.
Samsung has shown the mirror to Apple over the recently launched iPhone 16 as it can’t Flip or Fold. Apple dreams of entering the foldable phone market, but it’s already delayed in its entry and the wait won’t be over for at least two more years.
In the latest ‘different’ ad, Samsung mocked the Apple iPhone 16 through the Galaxy Z Flip 6. A graphical clip showcases a series of iPhones rolling. All are shown flat from the rear side and then comes the Galaxy Z Flip 6 in a half-unfolded state.
It’s all about showing off innovation and the edge of being the foldable market leader. Apple also wishes to launch its foldable display product. However, the company is waiting for years until the segment and products enter the mainstream.
