Chip news... =============== Samsung speeds graphics chip By Reuters Special to CNET News.com September 16, 1998, 8:55 a.m. PT South Korea's Samsung Electronics said today it has begun shipping commercial samples of a super-fast graphics memory chip to graphics controller makers. Samsung said in a statement its 16-megabit double data rate synchronous graphics random access memory (DDR SGRAM) supported graphic images at up to 286 megabits-per-second per pin. The new chip's speed is twice that of a regular SGRAM chip, Samsung said. Japanese and Korean memory makers are eager to advance memory capacity because they can charge premium prices on advanced technology. The last three years have seen precipitous price drops on 16-megabit DRAMs (dynamic random access memory), last year's mainstream technology, wreaking havoc on financial results for a number of Asian companies. "The high speed of the 16-megabit DDR SGRAM allows it to smoothly process 3D graphics in game products, high-end PCs (personal computers) and workstations," it said. The world market for the 16-megabit DDR SGRAM chips was just taking form this year and was expected to reach $100 million in 1999, jumping to $500 million the following year, it said. Samsung Electronics is the flagship unit of the Samsung Group and is the world's largest memory chip maker. Story Copyright c 1997 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.
