AMD Backing Z-RAM: 5x The Density

EETimes is reporting that AMD has just entered an agreement with memory startup Innovative Silicon to license the company's capacitor-less SRAM alternative. Innovative Silicon's technology, Z-RAM, uses zero capacitors in its memory design. Not only does this reduce the cost of the memory, but density of such memory is also much greater.

I think someone's confused here, there aren't any capacitors in an ordinary SRAM cell *either*... |

I didnt think there were. But to go off topic...their was a report that some companys design capacitors to fail after a approx. set amount of time. Some company even admitted to it. In return they know they will half to replace the equipment or appliance. Examples... Gas/electric fernaces, game consoles, car sensors...ect. Pretty cool huh!! |
