Samsung and Hynix Investing Large in DDR3 Products

ddr3Samsung Electronics and Hynix Semiconductor Inc. are taking big steps to develop and improve their Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) technology, one of their many DRAM products. By next year, these two companies are planning to invest a combined amount of W5 billion into these products. As of this year, these two companies combined for W3 billion in investments, making next year’s planned amount a 66 percent increase.

A Samsung official stated, “As of right now, we are not entirely positive on the exact amount we will invest, but the plan is to invest W3 billion. We will closely monitor this situation and make a decision next month.”

Hynix is also planning to increase their investments in their DDR3 products from W1 billion to W2 billion by next year. A Hynix official said, “We set a goal to invest W2 billion next year, but we will not be certain until October.”

Microsoft Memorial Day Sale: Asus, Lenovo, Samsung laptops reduced early
A Microsoft Surface Book opened and being used.

Microsoft has kicked off its Memorial Day sales — sort of. While the retailer hasn’t mentioned the holiday by name, it has cast some fantastic discounts into the wild at the same time its rivals are launching their promotions … and that can’t be a coincidence. After all, it’s not every day you see a Razer Blade 15.6 in the sale bin for $930 under sticker. But we digress. You’re here for the savings, and we aren’t going to stand in your way a second longer.

In typical fashion, we tasked our team of bargain hunters with the all-important mission of trimming the fat off the meat. What we’re left with is a selection of the best laptops on offer as part of Microsoft’s let’s-not-call-it-a-Memorial-Day-(not-yet-at-least)-sale. The standouts? A spreadsheet-loving Lenovo IdeaPad 2-in-1 for $699, down $200 from $899, and a battlefield-ready Asus ROG Zephyrus M for $1,300, down a massive $500 from $1,800.

For computing-centric bargain hunters, Chromebooks are already among the more affordable laptops available, and now at Walmart as part of The Big Save, the accessible Samsung Chromebook 3 can be yours for just $159
, down from its original $229. Prime Day may get all the publicity, but Walmart’s days of deals are certainly worth a look as well.
