According to memory module manufacturers, major semiconductor manufacturers are committed to increasing the available capacity of DDR5 memory. It is expected that by 2024, DDR5 will become the mainstream memory technology. It is predicted that by the end of 2023, sales of DDR5 memory will account for 30-40% of the entire memory market.
DDR5 is the fifth generation of Double Data Rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory, also known as DDR5 SDRAM. Compared to the previous generation DDR4, DDR5 has significant advantages in bandwidth and frequency.
In recent years, there have been continuous news about DDR5: Samsung began mass production of 16Gb DDR5 DRAM in May this year, and successfully developed 32Gb DDR5 DRAM in September. Samsung has announced plans to start production of a brand new 12-nanometer 32Gb DDR5 DRAM by the end of this year. In addition, Nanya Technology has revealed that their DDR5 products will begin shipping in the first half of 2024, which will drive the penetration rate of DDR5.
From the perspective of the storage industry, we cannot help but ask: by 2024, will there be a rebound in storage market demand? How will advanced storage technologies develop? At the same time, what new challenges and opportunities will the industry face?
To explore these questions in depth, TrendForce will hold the "Memory Trend Seminar 2024" in Shenzhen on November 8, 2023. At that time, TrendForce's senior analyst team and industry important guests will discuss the market trends, technological evolution dynamics, and applications of the storage industry in 2024 in Shenzhen. We hope that through this seminar, we can provide forward-looking strategic planning ideas for industry friends.
