HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR, the silicon-slinging arm of Korean car giant Hyundai, said begins shipping the world's fastest mobile chip today, the 1 Gigabit mobile LPDDR2.

The new chip is built on the company’s 66nm process technology and boasts a maximum operating speed of 800Mbps at 1.2V. It is claimed to consum less power but operates at a faster speed than any currently available mobile DDR and comes in a dinky 9mm x 12mm package.

The chippery offers wire-bonded options combining SDRAM/DDR DRAM interfaces, and x16/x32 organizations on a single chip.

Hynix said it plans to start mass production of LPDDR2 in the fourth quarter of this year. µ
