There's nothing wrong with thinking small, especially in the technology sector. Take Elpida for instance, Japan's DRAM market leader which just announced the development of a 2Gb (gigabit) DDR2 Mobile RAM. According to Elpida, this is the DRAM industry's smallest ever LPDDR2 chip.
"The new 2Gb DDR2 Mobile RAM was developed to target the smartphone and tablet PC markets," Elpida explains. "In addition to featuring low operating voltage of 1.2V, it achieves a 1066Mpbs high-seed data transfer rate and can reach 8.5GB/s for a 64-bit system configuration. Because it uses roughly 30 percent less operating current compared with Elpida's existing 50nm products, the new Mobile RAM is an eco-friendly DRAM that contributes to extending the operating time of mobile devices."
Elpida says its new DDR2 chip is the company's bread and butter product from its 40nm process line at its Hiroshima plant. Samples of the chip will begin shipping in August, with mass production slated for September.
