M'bishi Elec To Offer Sample 512Mbit DDR DRAM In Nov Wednesday, August 29, 2001 TOKYO (Nikkei)--Mitsubishi Electric Corp. (6503) announced Tuesday that it will begin shipping samples of 512Mbit Double Data Rate Dynamic Random Access Memory (DDR DRAM) chips in November. By coming to market early with a larger-capacity version of this fast-cycling memory device, the company hopes to cultivate demand for DDR DRAM for use in high-end servers and workstations. Mitsubishi fabricates the DDR DRAM using a 0.15 micron process. The device can handle data transfer rates as fast as 2.1 gigabytes per second. The sample price starts at 14,000 yen each. The company also intends to offer sample 512Mbit SDR DRAM (Single Data Rate DRAM) chips as well as 256Mbit DDR DRAM and SDR DRAM chips, releasing them successively from October. Samples of the 256Mbit chips will be priced at 5,000 yen and up. With a surface-mount area of 140 sq. mm, they take up half the space of comparable products, the company claims.
