Flashy chip manufacturer Samsung Electronics has claimed a new world's first title by making a 32GB DDR3 memory module for Intel-powered servers. The record-breaking RDIMM requires just 1.35V to work (down from the standard 1.5V), and makes use of no less than 72 4Gb DRAMs produced using the 50nm process.

"Compared to the 8GB memory modules used in today's servers, our new module packs an eco-sensitive wallop with four times the density at significantly reduced power levels and no increase in the overall footprint," said Jim Elliott, vice president, memory marketing, Samsung Semiconductor. "For data centers, it’s a powerhouse in energy efficiency and performance."

Samsung didn't say when the 32GB module will enter mass production. But it's coming.
