The numbers here make no sense, and it is because they don't match the source analysis: It's a two megabyte chip, for $599, that appears in the analysis. (Thus, $600 for 2 MB = $300/MB.)
- guenthert 5y agoI don't think there were 16Mb chips in '85. Google finds that Samsung produced the first such in '92. 2MiB total was clearly meant (at that time 256Kb chips were common).
