Dataquest has predicted a two-year shortage in the DRAM memory chip market. The DRAM market took a battering in the late 1990s with a fall in worldwide revenue from $42bn in 1995 to $15bn in 1998. At the annual Industry Strategy Symposium, Klaus...
Korean DRAM makers are pushing up the price of their components in a further blow to the PC sector. NEC has already said the rising price of DRAM is responsible for it hiking up its own PC prices. Apple recently put up the cost of an iMac by $100...
Prototype SRAM (static RAM) chips, a type of memory, produced by Intel contain more than 330 million transistors in a 100-millimeter square space, Bohr said. Designing chips that work and can be manufactured profitably at this level requires more...
On the more mundane side, I can always use more processing power, a bigger hard drive (or two) and a lot more RAM. I don’t want to be mean but could we make sure that the designers have to live with their emailer creations for a year on a 9600Bps...
Chip designers will have to incorporate new structures and chemicals into their chips but they won't have to swap the silicon base with more radical materials for a decade or more. The pendulum is now swinging the other way, because of the...
Starting with its 45-nanometer processors next year, IBM will use embedded DRAM (dynamic RAM) instead of SRAM (static RAM) on its processors, effectively tripling the amount of memory it can put on those chips.
