Image for New chip under development

A memory semiconductor that will hold over 500KB of information is under development by Condesin, Inc., of Freeport, TX. Currently, the most memory commercially available on a single silicon chip is 64KB.

A prototype chip will be commercially available by 1984. According to the company, the chip will be priced at $100. This development will make it possible to build more powerful computers at less cost. The greatest effect may be to place powerful personal micros within the reach of people with average incomes.
