Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced that it has successfully shipped one million of the industry's first 10nm-class (D1x) DDR4 (Double Date Rate 4) DRAM modules based on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology. The new EUV-based DRAM modules have completed global customer evaluations, and will open the door to more cutting-edge EUV process nodes for use in premium PC, mobile, enterprise server and datacenter applications.

"With the production of our new EUV-based DRAM, we are demonstrating our full commitment toward providing revolutionary DRAM solutions in support of our global IT customers,” said Jung-bae Lee, executive vice president of DRAM Product & Technology at Samsung Electronics. "This major advancement underscores how we will continue contributing to global IT innovation through timely development of leading-edge process technologies and next-generation memory products for the premium memory market."
Samsung is the first to adopt EUV in DRAM production to overcome challenges in DRAM scaling. EUV technology reduces repetitive steps in multi-patterning and improves patterning accuracy, enabling enhanced performance and greater yields as well as shortened development time.
EUV will be fully deployed in Samsung's future generations of DRAM, starting with its fourth-generation 10nm-class (D1a) or the highly-advanced 14nm-class, DRAM. Samsung expects to begin volume production of D1a-based DDR5 and LPDDR5 next year, which would double manufacturing productivity of the 12-inch D1x wafers.
In line with the expansion of the DDR5/LPDDR5 market next year, the company will further strengthen its collaboration with leading IT customers and semiconductor vendors on optimizing standard specifications, as it accelerates the transition to DDR5/LPDDR5 throughout the memory market.
To better address the growing demand for next-generation premium DRAM, Samsung will start the operation of a second semiconductor fabrication line in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, within the second half of this year.

LTM Joins Athena, a Chainguard-led Industry Coalition to Help Secure Open Source Software in the AI Era24.6.2026 08:30:00 CEST | Press release
LTM, the Business Creativity partner to the world’s largest enterprises, has joined Athena, a new industry coalition led by Chainguard, focused on protecting open source software from the rising threat of AI-driven vulnerabilities. Athena brings together leading organizations across the global software ecosystem to address an urgent challenge. As frontier AI models advance, they are increasingly capable of identifying novel vulnerabilities in open source software at machine speed, often faster than traditional disclosure and patching processes can respond. As AI accelerates both software development and the discovery of vulnerabilities, the window between a flaw being identified and being exploited has narrowed sharply. Athena is designed to close this gap through shared intelligence, coordinated action, and pre-disclosure remediation across the ecosystem. The coalition supports vulnerability management end to end, from discovery and analysis to patching, layered mitigations, and upstr
Over Half of Consumers Will Pay More for Brands That Are Transparent About AI Data Use, New Usercentrics Research Finds24.6.2026 08:30:00 CEST | Press release
52% of consumers globally will pay a 7% premium for AI transparency — rising to 73% in Germany. Almost half have already taken an action with a direct revenue consequence. AI transparency has become a commercial differentiator, and it's reshaping where brand revenue is won — or lost. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260623804294/en/ Over half (52%) of consumers globally will pay more for brands that are transparent about how they use AI with their data at an average 7% premium. In Germany, that figure rises to 73% of consumers willing to pay a 9% premium, the highest of any market. The finding comes from the second annual State of Digital Trust 2026 Report, commissioned by Usercentrics, a leading data privacy technology company, and conducted by Sapio Research across 11,000 consumers in seven markets. The opportunity for brands that act is matched by the cost of inaction. Almost half (47%) of consumers surveyed
