Thread, Hitachi unveils new generation computer chip From ZDNet: zdnet.com By Reuters reuters.com May 18, 1999 6:28 AM PT The new chip will lead to smaller, faster computers, telephones and electronic systems. LONDON -- Japanese electronics company Hitachi Ltd. said Monday it has developed a new-generation chip which will lead to smaller, faster computers, telephones and electronic systems. The PLEDM chip will start appearing in products by 2005, Hitachi said. "The PLEDM development puts Hitachi at the forefront of chip technology," Sachio Ishioka of Hitachi Europe told a press briefing. The technology behind the PLEDM chip was developed by scientists from Hitachi and Cambridge University. The new chip will allow instant recording and accessing of a massive amount of information, Hitachi said, and will eliminate the need for current storage devices like computer hard disks. PLEDM is smaller, faster and consumes less energy than current Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) chips. According to Ishioka, DRAM systems are reaching design limits, making further progress toward more miniaturization and increased performance difficult. The PLEDM chip will allow a new wave of improvements to be made.
