Hynix Develops 1GB Mobile DRAM

All those out there and myself included, who have complaints about how slow your mobile phone are in for a pleasant surprise. Hynix Semiconductor has apparently come up with what they say is the smallest 1GB mobile DRAM. And considering that these RAMs are pretty much used in all forms of today’s electronics like digital still and video cameras, PDAs, PMPs, and GPS Navigation systems aren’t we glad the guys down at Hynix came up with this! It was in December of 2006 that they announced their 512Mbit Mobile DRAM.

The product is apparently also the industry’s first commercially available 1Gb mobile DRAM built on Hynix’s 66 nm process technology. The finer processing geometry reduces is die size but could also improve speed and power characteristics of the device.
