07/29/2003 Hynix Announces World’s First Introduction of DDR500
Seoul, Korea, July 29, 2003–Hynix Semiconductor Inc. (Hynix,www.hynix.com), announced today it has developed a 500MHz 256Mbit DDR SDRAM and will begin its full-scale volume production in August 2003.
The newly introduced DDR500, a high-performance PC main memory device, runs at 500MHz and will be available in FBGA, TSOP or QFP package. The DDR500 product line up is aimed towards the gaming market enthusiasts who tend to require higher frequencies and system performance.
The main memory DDR500 follows the introduction a 500MHz graphic memory last year and will be manufactured using the company’s Prime Chip 0.13-micron process technology.
Currently, the main memory DRAM market is experiencing a rapid transition in demand from DDR266 to DDR333/400. Hynix expects the DDR500 to demand a 10-20% premium relative to DDR400 due to limited supply.
Hynix aims to continue to maintain and expand its leadership position in the high-performance PC, workstation and computer game consol markets, requiring ultra high-speed memory products. Hynix is dedicated to maintaining its competitive edge in the high-speed memory market through continuous development of ultra high-speed devices.
guess this is the stuff Corsair XMS4000 is based on ??

07/24/2003 Hynix Says U.S. ITC Decision On DRAM Case Is “Very Disappointing,” But It Will Not Affect Hynix’s Overall Business Operation Worldwide
Seoul, Korea, July 24, 2003 -- An official of Hynix today stated that “Hynix is very disappointed by the International Trade Commission’s affirmative injury determination in the DRAMs case.” He cautioned, however, that it was difficult to offer much comment on the ITC’s determination because the ITC’s written rationale was not yet available. “Today we just learned the outcome, not the reasons why.”
According to the official, Hynix will receive the ITC’s written rationale in a couple of weeks, and then Hynix will review its options. Two options are possible: (1) appealing the ITC’s decision to the Court of International Trade, and/or (2) having the Government of Korea appeal the decision to the WTO. Both options could be pursued at the same time.
The official also said that today’s determination, although disappointing, will not bring any significant changes in Hynix’s DRAM production and business operation. He said that Hynix has prepared a thorough plan in advance to minimize the impact of any unfavorable ITC determination. For example, “Hynix will increase the production of DRAMs in its Eugene, Oregon fab, which is not subject to the CVD duty imposition, to continue to provide quality DRAMs to its U.S. customers.” “Therefore, our existing customers in the U.S. will not be affected at all by today’s decision,” the official emphasized.
