As the saying 'Size does matter' does both ways Micron has now proudly announced that it has started sampling 1Gb DDR2 chips manufactured on the 68nm process. By using the new node and backing it up with its 6F² technology Micron was able to make the 1Gb part the smallest of its kind with a die size of only 56mm². The 68nm process not only reduces the die size but also ensures that chips consume up to 20% less power than previous process generations.
The new 68nm-built DDR2 chips are set to enter mass production early next year while DDR3 and other low-power DRAM parts are expected to follow in the second half of 2008.
