These are various forms of local, on-chip memory. Except for the DRAM. 4T (4 transistor) SRAM takes up 4 times the space that regular DRAM does 1T-SRAM seems to be a hybrid of DRAM that allows for ...

At the International Solid State Circuits Conference being held in San Francisco this week, IBM Corp. is announcing what it says is a major step forward in solving the multi-core bottleneck; detailing ...

New memory types and approaches are being developed and tested as DRAM and Moore’s Law both run out of steam, adding greatly to the confusion of what comes next and how that will affect chip designs.

Chipmakers are beginning to incorporate multiple types and flavors of DRAM in the same advanced package, setting the stage for increasingly distributed memory but significantly more complex designs.

Intel has been tinkering around with DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) cells, reducing their size and getting rid of the capacitors that were necessary components of their tiny integrated circuit.

In an upgrade that could improve chip performance for gamers and multimedia users, IBM plans to double the performance of its microprocessors in 2008 by using smaller, more efficient memory, according ...

It takes three kinds of memory to drive digital machines. A new approach may supplant all of them. Whatever brave face your cell phone or PC may put on every morning, don't be fooled: Between the ...
