What this is really is, is the fact that 'little' just got excessive! :icon_wink:

comments anyone...

[Steve Lux]

The article doesn't say how fast the chip is.

[mitchellds]

yes, to be useful, it would have to be screaming fast.

This is all of the information available...

Will that memory run hot and be in need of a fan:dontknow:

[Danish Dynamite]

sounds to me like this might be what hard drives will be made of in the future ?

[AMDave]

They don't give much away regarding state persistence and refresh rates which would give an indication of power-draw and heat.

Even if this design is "slow" by SD/DDRAM standards, it would likely still be much faster than the movable-head Hard drive technology that we have (otherwise it would be less worthwhile pursuing and we'd not be seeing this tid-bit).

As we have well and truly moved into the electronic document age this is the kind of chip that we need for faster document retrieval online and it's the sort of memory platform that the traffic and data heavy web sites need for storing their larger catalogs on for online interrogation.

There's definitely a market for this already and I'd expect some server hardware developers to be forming a disorderly queue shortly :icon_wink:
