Semiconductor maker Hynix announced Monday that it has developed a smaller computer memory chip using a 60-nanometer process that — at 800 MHz — is the world’s fastest. The improved DRAM reportedly delivers 1 GB capacity along with the blazing speed, which tops the performance of existing 667 Mhz DRAM chips. The feat shows that Hynix, a relatively small competitor in a memory market dominated by Samsung, is nevertheless a force in the industry.
