NVIDIA has together with semiconductor manufacturer TSMC developed the first embedded DRAM chips using a 65nm manufacturing process. NVIDIA intends to use the new memory circuits together with its latest mobile graphics processor and TSMC was the one who got the job of manufacturing the new circuits. The new manufacturing process has shrunk the size of the circuits with almost 50 percent since the last model and it is focusing on areas that require a lot of bandwidth, amongst others multimedia processors and video game consoles.
“NVIDIA is pleased to have collaborated with TSMC on their new 65nm embedded DRAM process, which has proven to be an excellent platform for our latest handheld GPU product,/…/The efficiencies of the embedded DRAM process allowed us to raise the bar for features found in mainstream cell phones.” – said Michael Rayfield, general manager of the handheld division of NVIDIA Corporation.
