Troubled Korean memory manufacturer Hynix Semiconductor today announced its 1Gb DDR-II SDRAM memory chips. The devices will be sampled in the early fourth quarter of this year, while the mass production is set to begin in the first quarter of 2004.
<%BANNER[article]%>Almost all memory makers now work hard to get high-speed and high-density DDR-II products into volume production by the second quarter next year in order to start selling DDR-II memory when Intel releases its platforms supporting the technology in Q2 2004.
Hynix Semiconductor manufactures its 1Gb and 512Mb DDR-II DRAMs at 533 and 667MHz using 0.11 micron fabrication technology. The devices will be available in 68-, and 60/84-ball Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array packages.
