SOCAMM2 and the memory makers' statements

Micron said its products consume less power and deliver better performance than competitors' products. yna.co.kr It described the Micron 9650 SSD as the industry's first PCIe 6th-generation SSD, announced last year. yna.co.kr

Samsung Electronics said SOCAMM2 is a standardized technology, so optimization matters more. yna.co.kr The company said it plans to release SOCAMM modules in a range of capacities, building on its server memory competitiveness and its experience in stable mass production of mobile DRAM. yna.co.kr Samsung also said that, as in the case of Nvidia Vera Rubin, it can supply HBM, SOCAMM2 and server SSDs to a single platform, and that it provides memory, foundry and packaging. yna.co.kr

Industry observers expect SOCAMM2, together with HBM, to become one of the two pillars of memory for data center computing and to grow into a market of several billion dollars within a few years. yna.co.kr
