Seoul, December 15, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

SK hynix Inc. (or \u2018the Company\u2019, www.skhynix.com<\/a>) today announced that it has shipped samples of 24 Gigabit (Gb) DDR5* DRAM with the industry\u2019s largest density for a single DRAM chip.<\/p>\n

*<\/span> DDR (Double Data Rate): A comprehensive standard specification defined by JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) and applied to PCs, servers and other applications; currently includes 5 generations of DDR 1-2-3-4-5<\/p>\n

*<\/span>\u00a0Currently, DDR DRAM offerings mostly come in density of 8Gb or 16Gb, with the highest density of 16Gb<\/p>\n

The announcement of SK hynix releasing the industry\u2019s largest density DDR5 chip comes in just 14 months after the Company became the first to release DDR5 DRAM in October 2020, further solidifying the chipmaker\u2019s technological leadership in DDR5.<\/p>\n

The new 24Gb DDR5 was produced with the cutting-edge 1anm technology that utilizes EUV process. It has a density of 24Gb per chip, which is up from the existing density of 16Gb in 1ynm DDR5, with improved production efficiency and increased speed by up to 33%.<\/p>\n

In addition, SK hynix managed to reduce the product\u2019s power consumption by *<\/span>25% compared to existing products while lowering energy use in manufacturing through enhanced production efficiency. SK hynix expects the product to bring about reduction in carbon emissions as well, which is meaningful in the context of ESG management.<\/p>\n

*<\/span>Based on system power consumption to support the same module capacity<\/p>\n

The initial offerings on this product are set to be 48 Gigabyte (GB) and 96GB modules for supply to cloud data centers. It is also expected to power high-performance servers for big data processing such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, as well as realizing Metaverse applications among others.<\/p>\n

Kevin (Jongwon) Noh, President and Chief Marketing Officer at SK hynix, said, \u201cIn line with the release of 24Gb DDR5, SK hynix is closely engaging with a number of customers that provides cloud services. We will continue to strengthen our leadership in growing DDR5 market by introducing advanced technologies and developing products with ESG-awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIntel and SK hynix have a long history of strong collaboration,\u201d said Carolyn Duran, Vice President of Memory and IO Technologies in Intel\u2019s Data Center and AI Group. \u201cToday\u2019s announcement is another illustration of our two companies working together to deliver a 24Gb solution to address needs of our mutual customers. The 24Gb DDR5 offering provides high mono die capacity and will help customers boost performance of memory capacity bound workloads such as data analytics while bringing significant TCO benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n
