Attacking DRAM market opportunities, Samsung Electronics announced the mass production of its second generation of 10 nanometer level (1y-nm) 8Gb DDR4 DRAM. The unit uses a high-sensitivity Cell Data Sensing System and an Air Spacer solution for higher performance, lower power consumption, and smaller footprint.

This week, according to the Yonhap news agency, Samsung Electronics announced that it has started using the second-generation 10nm process to produce 8Gb DDR4 particles, another iteration of technology after two years of the first-generation 10nm process.

DRAM market conditions will be different next year, DRAM market will continue to be tight, NAND Flash market will be in the first half of next year into oversupply.
