Somehow a new level of memory density still has the ability to impress.
Maybe it’s a hark back to the 70s when we were routinely surprised as DRAM densities climbed from 1k to 64k with different companies leading each generational transition and the laggards falling away in the race…
The NAND flash market will grow 12% this year from last year’s $26.8bn, says IC Insights.
Smartphones will account for 26% of the $30bn NAND flash memory market in 2013…
It’s a bit like hearing the sun ain’t going to shine anymore, or Fergie is joining ManchesterCity, but one of those great immutables – the increasing rate of growth of DRAM content in PCs – has come to an end.
The average annual growth of DRAM content per PC will…
Micron says it is shipping ‘high volume’ 1Gbit phase change memory to Nokia.
Long-derided as a Techno-Ponzi scheme – useful for raising a development budget but never delivering a return – PCM may now finally start earning its way in the world.
Micron says it has a 1Gbit multi-chip…
You have to admire the Yanks for their perseverance and their creativity. Having invented the DRAM in 1968 at IBM, and put the first one on the market with Intel’s 1103 in 1971, it looked, in 1985 as though they were out of it.
The year before, a tidal…
Technology can be a terrible tease. After 28 years of trying to get FRAM into the mainstream memory market, Ramtron is putting up the white flag and is up for grabs.
It’s reminiscent of the demise of the 52 year-old Energy Conversion Devices, the brain-child of the…
A way of making highly manufacturable memristors which switch a hundred times faster than flash and use a hundred times less energy to switch, has been accidentally discovered at University College, London (UCL).
UCL’s Anthony Kenyon and a team of researchers were working on LEDs when they accidentally discovered…
The DRAM industry is a long time consolidating. Steve Appleton, CEO of Micron, says, earlier this week, he expects consolidation. He probably has his eye on Nanya with whom Micron shares a joint development agreement and a jv in Inotera.
“As they (competitors) continue to weaken, they’re going to…
