In a nutshell, "nm" lithography describes the manufacturing process used to create chips and the smaller they become, the better. Smaller chips not only take up less space but also use up less energy and decreases the time needed for power, and therefore data, to travel from one point to another. All without sacrificing the benefits of previous, bigger generations. There are "steps" in shrinking these processes and 10 nm is the latest to happen for memory chips. CPUs, on the other hand, are still at the 14 nm level, like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820.
So Samsung's 6 GB RAM, besides using the latest LPDDR4 standard, would also be the first 10 nm class RAM in the smartphone industry. Given the timing of its announcement, it's highly likely that the technology will be included in the Galaxy Note 6 expected to be announced in just a few months. It has already been widely believed that the phablet will indeed come with 6 GB of RAM, but this latest tidbit would hint that it would have the latest that technology has to offer.
The rest of the Galaxy Note 6's specs are still being debate, with contradicting and sometimes puzzling information coming from different sources. The screen size could be around 5.8 to 5.9 inches, may or may not be curved at the side edges, and would most likely have a large 4,000 mAh battery inside. It might also be Samsung's first smartphone to sport a USB-C connector. Samsung usually announces the latest Galaxy Note phablet at IFA 2016, though there is some speculation it could do so earlier like the Galaxy S7.
