Buggi,

I really can't imagine, how these could perform (nearly) on par with conventional DRAM. The next question is, how could this be transformed into other types of applictions like SSDs or changes in the NOR vs. NAND (cell phones) environment.

The hierarchy as far as composite of read and write is:
L1
L2
L3 (all SRAM)
DRAM
EcoRAM
SSD
Hard disk

If the read speed is pretty much the same, the trade offs are slow writes vs. limited memory capacity, high power consumption and (if DRAM is combined with SSD) double cost.

That's not such a bad value proposition, IMO, for certain niches...

Joe
