Researchers working on memory to replace DRAM, NAND

21.04.2009

Beating these chips on their technological merit is one issue. The second hurdle will be making a new chip so much better than DRAM or NAND that it actually makes sense to replace the chips.

That won't be easy considering the billions of dollars companies have spent to build DRAM and NAND factories and the investment PC component makers made to ensure their components, from microprocessors to motherboards, work with DRAM.
