Samsung makes DDR2 chip on 70 nanometre process
@ 2005/10/14THE CHIP WING of Samsung Electronics claimed it has finished developing a 512Mbit DDR2 memory device on a 70 nanometre process.
This, Samsung claimed, is the smallest process technology applied to a DRAM device. Samsung already produces DRAM chips on 80nm and 90nm processes.
Yields per wafer will be 100 per cent higher than using 90 nanometre tech, said Samsung.
It will start producing memory chips in the second half of next year in various densities.
We expect Microsoft Vista needs an awful lot of memory so it's just as well Samsung is making high density chips as a boon to mankind. µ

about Vista, GUI acceleration through power of vidcard is enough reason to upgrade.
