IBM Reveals Breakthrough eDRAM Memory Technology

IBM eDRAM test chip. IBM announced a major breakthrough in microchip design that will more than triple the amount of memory contained on a single high-end chip. With the advent of multi-core chips, memory has become an increasingly critical aspect of microprocessor performance. This prototype eDRAM (Embedded Dynamic Random Access Memory) contains over 12 million bits and high-performance logic. It will be available in IBM products beginning next year. Credit: IBM
