... attention is focusing on the megabit RAM, the 1,000K chip. Industry experts describe its power as awesome. In a silicon wafer about 10 millimetres by 8 mm, the IBM megabit chip is capable of storing enough characters to fill about 100 pages of double-spaced typewritten text. 1, record 1, English, - megabit%20chip
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
A typical personal computer can store 64,000 bytes of data in its main memory, equal to about 250 typewritten pages. A computer using one-million-bit memory chips could store 4,000 pages in the same amount of space. 2, record 1, English, - megabit%20chip

Une unité centrale classique nécessite quelques 4000 chips(puces) alors qu'avec la technologie WSi il n’ en faut plus que quarante. Compte tenu de la dissipation de ces "puces géantes", le refroidissement par eau est rendu nécessaire. 2, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9ga%20puce

Il existe déjà des projets de production de puces d’une capacité de 4 mégabits et de 10 mégabits. Toutes ces puces s’appellent "mégapuces" dès que leur capacité de mémoire se mesure en mégabits. 4, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9ga%20puce
