Samsung, the world's leading innovators in advanced memory technology, recently announced that it successfully launched mass production of the first two gigabytes (GB) DDR3 devices, are designed by efficient 40nm technology class. With the announcement of the company further strengthens its position as an innovator in the memory industry as its customers with an efficient production that provides about 60 percent productivity increase in production more than previous generation 50nm process.

"We see market adoption of DDR3 in motion and courtesy of the early registration of 2Gb DDR3 with the most efficient DRAM manufacturing technology available today," said Jim Elliott, Vice President, Memory Marketing, Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. "This will show the way for a new standard for premium environmentally friendly DRAM solutions offer the most advanced, low power RDIMM for servers everywhere."

The company announced that it would use the new class 40nm chip at 16 GB, 8 GB and 4 GB RDIMMs to servers and UDIMM (unregistered in-line memory modules) for workstations and desktop computers. It will also SODIMM (small summary dual in-line memory modules) up to 4 GB for use in laptops, for customers with complete memory to offer the company's latest memory chip.

Toms Hardware AMD welcomes the release, and said, "at $ 99 is Radeon HD 4770 is a winner." Legion Hardware is also impressed with the new card, which apparently exceeded their expectations. PC Perspective also recommends it for its performance for the price package. Scholars of the Guru 3D applaud card overclocking potential, the Radeon HD4770 a possible solution for a high-performance tool, when used in a CrossFireX system.

There is a downside to the introduction of AMD's first 40nm desktop GPU which, paradoxically, in pricing. Although AMD has announced the card for U.S. $ 99, current street prices of U.S. $ 109, depending on the listing on Newegg.
