By Brenda Stokes on Wednesday, Dec 3rd 2008 No Comments

The new Hynix chips will no doubt be used in new mobile devices like cell phones, PMPs and more. Even MIDs and UMPCs might be able to benefit from this increased DRAM. So now we’re looking to the first half of next year, when production will begin to roll out and when these maxed out chips will be included in consumer products.
