As reported by seemingly every computer technology website, Samsung Semiconductor had recently announced the end of life status for its famed 20 nm B-die DDR4 SDRAM. Samsung's own website also indicated this, as we can see below in the screenshot I clipped when the news was making the rounds.
At the time, I incorrectly thought that the BIRC, BITD, and BIWE variations might have been 10 nm B-die. However, after reading through the datasheet with a bit more attention to detail, I've discovered those are simply "industrial temp" variations. As of right now, if you look at Samsung's website, you'll see what is shown in the second clipped screenshot below. By the way, I've chosen to show only the most relevant 8Gb (1GB) densities, which may be the most widely used and are preferred for overclocking in their 1GB x 8/single-rank arrangement.
So, has Samsung decided to continue production of its 20 nm B-die memory, or is this simply a website error?
