Actually, the YM2612 is newer than the YM3812. Yamaha produced a range of FM synthesizer chips for different budgets. The most popular is the YM2151 which was used in a lot of Arcade games and the DX-9/DX-21/DX-27/DX-100 Keyboards.

Ha! Ha! I remember the Yamaha! my first encounter with a sampling keyboard circa 1987! Hearing to that demo brought back some memories! Listening to it now makes me think of Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega! (wonder if it used Yamaha FM chips?)
