@RINK - PRAM
I have looked too at the Samsung page. The intro article was
from mid 06. Why does it take so long to bring this "superior"
stuff on the market? Have we seen any new papers related to
this topic? Have we heard of any designwin? Do we know how
large the whole DIE-size for a 512Mbit device is? What nodes
will Samsung use? Are the specs favourible or on par with
given designs? Many question, no answers at least for me. I
can't help me, but because this "story" is sooooo quiet, I
don't find it likely, that the market welcomes PRAM by storm.
Or don't you find it plausible, that Samsung is so shy to
speak about the great benefits?
I have said it a few times - for me, all sciences and ongoing
research activities are ONLY!!! in place, because given NOR
designs can't scale anymore, when we don't look at SPSN. Thats
the key. Samsung could use 65nm, as Intel/STM, but what comes
next? Could they do 45nm too? From all papers we could read,
45nm should be a very very diff. task. The answer is clear, try to
introduce "something new" - not because it is superior (we
haven't seen something at least), because they HAVE to, other-
wise newer nodes will cause extreme headaches ...
