Full-Scale Promotion of Value-Added Product Launched to Fast Growing High-End Server Market; Hynix Announces Development of 1GB DDR Registered DIMM Ready for the Market.Business Editors and High Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 4, 2002 Hynix Semiconductor Inc. today announced it has developed a 1GB DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory Registered DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module and is introducing it to the market. This product is focused primarily on the high-end server application market for major OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customers. Following on the heels of the successful launching of the 1GB SDR See software defined radio. DIMM last year for high-end server applications, Hynix developed the 1GB DDR Registered DIMM, following development of the 512MB high-density module. In addition, Hynix added that it is on target to develop the 2GB DDR version and anticipates introduction early second half of this year. Hynix expects most major OEMs to welcome the high-density memory module due to its high density and large capability. It gives huge extendability to memory-hungry applications, such as high-end servers, which normally require memory stability as well as a great amount of memory, to operate properly. This DIMM provides as much as twice the memory capability in the applications, which in the past suffered from limited memory slots. "High-end server suppliers are quickly ramping to higher density DDR memory modules, enabling these servers to provide incredible performance benefits," stated Farhad Tabrizi, Vice President of Worldwide Memory Marketing. "Today, many OEMs are offering servers with 64GB of total memory in one server, and with DDR DRAMs See DDR. as their main choice of memory. These modules are required to achieve these high density systems." Through full-scale promotion of this value-added product, Hynix anticipates it will have new opportunities to gain revenue, currently 20 percent of their total revenue, and increase market share in this fast growing market segment.
