Samsung Enables 3D Gaming On Cell Phones

Samsung announced a monolithic 256Mbit, 32-bit wide Double Data Rate (DDR) device that offers the bandwidth needed for photo-realistic 3D gaming in handsets.

Samples are available today with mass production scheduled in the second half of 2004.

The device is part of SAMSUNG’s growing product family of Mobile Synchronous DRAM solutions that are available as Single Data Rate (SDR) or Double Data Rate (DDR) devices, all of which meet the strict power and form factor requirements demanded by battery-powered handsets. The Mobile DDR x 32 device supports data transfer rates of up to 266Mbits-per-second per pin, for an aggregate bandwidth of 1.064GB (gigabyte) per second incorporating SAMSUNG’s proven 0.10um process technology to effectively implement the mobile memory characteristics.
