Hasta La Gadget!

Samsung has managed to squeeze 4Gb (that’s the smaller gigibit) of RAM into a single chip using its teeny tiny 50 nanometer chip machines.

Those numbers are pretty unimpressive, technical as they are. What it means for you and me is that when these are combined to make the sticks of RAM you buy to upgrade your computer’s memory, they will be available in 32GB sizes, a truly huge amount of RAM-on-a-stick. The chips also sip power, and herein lies the clue as to their real purpose — data centers.

Data centers are the hub of Internet services as well as company’s internal workings. They have too much heat and not enough space, so the third factor of Samsung’s new chips — an inevitably high price — won’t matter so much.
