According to Korean media koreaherald, Intel plans to set up a scientific research laboratory in Seoul, South Korea, and promote the research and development of DRAM chips suitable for data centers by expanding cooperation with Samsung and SK Hynix.
The data center development laboratory in Seoul, which will be completed and opened by the end of this year, will be responsible for developing DDR5 DRAM memory technology for data centers.
In the Vision 2023 event, Intel also stated that it has set up six more scientific research institutions in the United States, China, India, and Mexico, mainly responsible for researching and certifying server semiconductor chips.
Intel also expanded its cooperation with Samsung and SK Hynix to test and evaluate the performance of next-generation memory products such as DDR5 and Compute Express Link.
It was previously reported that SK Hynix recently announced that its 5th generation 10nm process 1bnm has been verified to meet the next-generation DDR5 and HBM3E solution needs.
Xeon Scalable is certified by Intel to support DDR5 products built on the 1 billion nanometer node, the company said. Samsung has also started mass production of 16Gb DDR5 DRAM using the 12nm process node.
