Hynix Semiconductor, the world’s second largest chip maker, said Friday its new memory chips have won validation from U.S. chip giant Intel.

Hynix said its two-gigabit DDR3 DRAM chips based on the 40-nanometer class technology have been validated under the Intel validation program to offer manufacturers of finished products more performance memory options.

DDR3 DRAM is a random access memory technology used for high bandwidth storage of working data on a computer or other digital electronic devices.

Starting this month, Hynix began to massproduce the new power-efficient memory chips using 44-nanometer technology, which reduces power consumption by 40 percent and increases productivity by 60 percent compared to the 50-nanometer class technology.
