From Step 15 (http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad-Teardown/2183/2):

Markings on the A4:

- N26CGM0T 1007 APL0398 33950084 YNL184A2 1004 K4X2G643GE

- Yes, the K4X2 is a Samsung DRAM part number!

- Decoding the part number shows there is 2Gb of memory inside. This translates into ~256MB of memory.

- This means the A4 processor is probably being manufactured by Samsung.

- The DRAM was stamped at the end of January, while the processor die was likely manufactured the third week of February.

Just FWIW, that "Decoding the part number" bulletpoint wasn't there when I made my post :-) But.. hmm.. that sucks!
