Intel Corporation is making strides in global chip research, announcing plans for a DDR5 Validation Data Center Lab in Seoul, South Korea.
Intel is establishing a chips data lab in the region to scale up its collaboration with the leading chip manufacturers in the country. With that said, some of the companies that it may work with are other leading memory chipmakers like SK hynix and Samsung Electronics. The Santa Clara, California-headquartered firm currently dominates the global chip market with its 70% share rating.
As per The Korea Herald, aside from South Korea, the semiconductor giant has plans to set up similar research centers in five other countries, including India, China, Taiwan, Mexico, and the United States. Business insiders said that the company shared this information last week at the Intel Vision 2023 conference that was held in Taiwan.
For the data development lab In Seoul, Intel will officially name it the Advanced Data Center Development Lab. The company is looking to open and start operations here before this year ends.
Business Korea reported that in the research center in Seoul, Intel would carry out certification and research on memory designed for data centers such as the advanced memory products - compute express link (CXL) DRAM and DDR5 DRAM. It may also work on other types of dynamic random access memory that have become popular recently.
“The data center development lab to be built in Seoul will play a role in verifying and certifying the compatibility of DRAM supplied to Intel CPUs,” an insider in the chip business sector commented. “Intel is expected to enjoy stronger cooperation with Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, which make DRAM, through the lab.”
