6G is here and the AI-driven era is here.
Things started with 2G in 1991, followed by 3G in 2001, 4G in 2009, and 5G in 2018. 6G has not been released yet, but given how quickly time moves, it will happen. ”It will be here sooner than we expected.
Experts predict that sixth generation (6G) mobile networks, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), will converge communications and computing into seamlessly interconnected realms of the digital and physical realms. For example, Qin Fei, Director of vivo’s Communication Research Institute, said, “We previously discussed the Internet of Things, but 6G brings us the intelligent or smart Internet of Things.”
With improvements in data latency, security, reliability, and the ability to instantly process vast amounts of data around the world, Qin and other experts predict that 6G will dramatically change both leisure and work. doing. His 6G vision for Vivo includes pioneering applications such as mixed reality, holographic and multisensory communication, interactive three-dimensional digital humans, collaborative robots, and autonomous driving.
Samsung is also joining the AI 6G train, but it’s not alone.
Samsung announced that it will join the AI-RAN (Artificial Intelligence and Radio Access Network) Alliance as a founding member, which aims to combine AI technology and wireless communication technology to drive 6G innovation.
Officially launched at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, the AI-RAN Alliance is an organization dedicated to energizing the convergence of AI and wireless communications and leading innovation through collaboration with related companies. . A total of 11 organizations are participating as founding members, including Samsung, Arm, Ericsson, Microsoft, Nokia, NVIDIA, SoftBank, and Northeastern University. Through this new partnership, we will work together to develop innovative new technologies and apply these technologies to commercial products for the coming 6G era.
“Emerging services in the 6G era will revolutionize the way people interact with technology, and AI will be an integral part of this trend,” said Charlie Chan, senior vice president at Samsung Research America. “The AI-RAN Alliance will foster collaboration, drive innovation, and usher in a new era of transformation centered around AI and his 6G network. We believe that this will create new value for end users and operators.”
Industry’s first 36GB DRAM chip
AI requires large amounts of memory to function. That’s why it’s no wonder that Samsung has announced that it has developed the HBM3E 12H, the industry’s first 12-stack HBM3E DRAM and the highest capacity HBM product to date.
Samsung’s HBM3E 12H offers the highest bandwidth ever of up to 1,280 gigabytes per second (GB/s) and industry-leading capacity of 36 GB. Compared to the 8-stack HBM3 8H, both points are improved by more than 50%.
“Industry AI service providers are increasingly demanding higher capacity HBMs, and our new HBM3E 12H product is designed to meet that need,” said Samsung Electronics Executive Vice President of Memory Product Planning. said Yongcheol Bae, President. “This new memory solution forms part of our efforts to develop the core technology of high-stack HBM and provide technological leadership to the high-capacity HBM market in the AI era.”
