By

Elpida Memory announced that it has begun mass production of DDR2 SDRAMs in 1Gbit and 512Mbit density on 70nm technology at its main fab facility, Hiroshima Elpida Memory. First product shipments are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2007, the company said.

Elpida offers the DDR2 chips in 800MHz and 1GHz frequency. The Japanese memory maker highlighted that 70nm technology has made possible the world’s smallest chip size for a 512Mbit DDR2 SDRAM. Elpida indicated that its DDR2 can be used in many applications, including high-end servers that need to process large amounts of data, high-performance mobile equipment, high-definition TVs (HDTVs), next-generation DVD recorders, digital single-lens reflex cameras and other digital consumer equipment that must have advanced image processing capabilities.
