Hynix announces 2Gb DDR3 DRAM chips
HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR has managed to get validation from Intel for its 2Gb DDR3 DRAM that uses 40nm process technology.
The outfit said it has begun mass production and expects the validation of RDIMMs to also be completed before year's end.
There are 2Gb DDR3 SDRAM components, 4GB DDR3 SO-DIMMs and 2GB DDR3 unbuffered DIMMs.
They ship with an operating speed of 1333MHz and run at 1.5V.
The chips have a maximum data transfer speed of 1867MHz with 16-bit I/O and 3.7Gbps bandwidth.
Hynix said the productivity of its 40nm class 2Gb DDR3 is increased by more than 60 per cent over 50nm and the chips' power consumption is 40 per cent less.
In an announcement, JB Kim, CMO of Hynix said that DRAM chip density has been moving from 1Gb to 2Gb for the higher performance servers market. µ

let's all discourage the lowercase b from letting the door hit it in the butt on the way out.
And can we please stay sane and NOT continue this crap with the TB/Tb combo?
the chips are Gb which is 1/8 GB. the 2 GB sticks will have 8 2Gb chips. One byte is 8 bits... they didnt mess up in the article.
Wonderful, the usual cretinism presented by The Inquirer! Please, get an education.

Gbps should read Gbit/s (meaning gigabits per second).
You may also want to check if you talk about GB, GiB, Gbit or Gibit.
'nuff said!
Give it a rest!
There is no SI unit for a "bit" nor "byte." Lowercase-B is used for "barn", which is not SI either, and used in very limited circumstances (i.e. atomic-levels). The use of capital-B and lowercase-B for byte and bit respectively is not only sanctioned, but also *recommended* by IEEE 1541-2002 as a means to *avoid confusion* among the units. IEC 60027, on the other hand, recommends "bit" instead of "b" for "byte."
Which should you choose? IT DOESN'T MATTER! Just be consistent and clear about it.
BB, don't pretend that you understand what a barn is. You don't even know the difference between an atom and a nucleus.
Neither I nor NIST put the byte and bit into the SI. But let me assure you that I (and certainly NIST, too) know a lot about units, standards and norms than you will ever do.
The IEC is not making recommendations. The members of the IEC are working hard to put knowledge and experience into norms and standards so that other people can benefit from that knowledge and experience. This is how misunderstandings and accidents are avoided. With your last statement, you made it pretty clear that you have no connection to that concept.
