Samsung recently begun production of the new semiconductor, which merges a 16Mb DRAM and a graphics chip into a single microchip. This MDL chip operates like a super video graphics array (SVGA) graphic board with a resolution of 1,024 x 768, the company said. Samsung will export the chip to a U.S. producer of graphics boards. However, Samsung declined to provide details of the export terms. The new chip is valued at more than twice the combined price of memory and nonmemory semiconductors.
