Samsung Touting New Mobile Memory Chip

Samsung Electronics said Wednesday it has developed a new mobile memory chip that is thinner and uses less power than previous generations of chips, a development that could impact a wide range of portable consumer electronic devices.

The new chip is at least 20 percent thinner than existing chipsets that use up to two 512-megabit chips, and it uses about 30 percent less power and it will be used in a wide range of mobile handsets as well as in other consumer electronic products, such as digital cameras, portable media players and portable gaming products., the company said in a press release.

Samsung said it plans to mass produce the new device beginning in the second quarter of 2007.
