On this day 40 years ago, Hitachi announced the first 1Mb memory chip
Hitachi released the first 1Mb memory chip 40 years ago today, and it was a massively important launch.
Memory is important for almost any modern-day device, but back in the day, computers measured their memory in bytes and kilobytes, not megabytes and certainly not gigabytes. Japan had cemented its supremacy in memory chips in the 80s with its 64K memory chips, capable of storing roughly 8KB of memory total. Later, Japan again went ahead with its 256K DRAMs, a technology we still use today, capable of holding roughly 32KB. However, in 1984, Hitachi went further, announcing on Jan. 6 that it had created the world's first 1Mb memory chip, which measures out to roughly 128KB today.

The new chip promises significantly faster data transfer speed while consuming less power than LPDDR5 RAM.
