The recognized leader in the memory market since 1993,
Samsung Electronics continued its strong performance in 2013
with the introduction of differentiated and premium products,
including 3D V-NAND flash memory and V-NAND based SSD
(Solid State Drive). Samsung’s proprietary 3D V-NAND
technology pushed past the scaling limit of conventional NAND
flash memory. We continue to pioneer mass production of
leading-edge DRAM products, including the industry’s first
20-nanometer 4Gb DRAM and the 20 nanometer-class
LPDDR3 DRAM. Those breakthroughs secured Samsung’s
technological prowess in the global memory market.
We anticipate continued leadership in the DRAM sector
with products such as the 20nm-class 8Gb LPDDR4, which
operates at twice the speed of market-leading 20nm-class
LPDDR3 for advanced mobile devices, and with the 20nm-
class DDR4 for the next-generation server market.
In the SSD business, Samsung introduced a wide-
ranging product lineup for next-generation PC and server
applications, including the industry’s first NVMe PCIe SSD,
which is six times faster than typical SATA SSD. In the branded
SSD sector, Samsung rose to the top within two years of
entering the global brand SSD market with the industry’s first
3-bit MLC SSD, 840 EVO.
In 2014, we plan to focus on development of 10nm-class
DRAM technology and provide high-quality premium products
and solutions that will lead the mobile and server markets.
Looking ahead, we will contribute to the development of the IT
industry as we further strengthen our technology leadership
and make on-time introductions of next-generation IT products.
