Micron Technology MT4246A 64k DRAM Memory Chip (1983)

Item #470
In 1979 Micron engineers finalized the design for a 64k DRAM memory chip. Their First 64K DRAM product is shipped in 1981. In 1983 The First "shrink" of their 64k DRAM chip is completed.
This Lucite paperweight has a background which features a copy of the announcement on January 21, 1983 in Electrical Engineering times of the World's smallest DRAM's introduction. An actual Micron MT4246A 64k DRAM DIP chip is embedded in the upper right corner and has it's lid removed so the DRAM memory chip can be viewed.
