The Arrival of Very Small Memory

Posted by Hemos on Tuesday March 23, 2004 @12:58AM from the mixing-our-terms dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "After the ages of DRAM and SRAM memories, is this time for nanotech memories? ExtremeTech says that "molecular memories" as well as memories based on carbon nanotubes are emerging. With these nanotech memories, several startup companies are envisioning future chips mixing logic, memory and reconfigurable computing elements. One of these promising startups is ZettaCore, which has built a prototype of a molecular memory designed to replace both SRAM and DRAM kinds of memories. These molecules, which are about 1 nanometer in size, are also self-assembling, meaning that they can be manufactured with existing equipment used in the semiconductor industry. This overview contains more details about the technology and includes a diagram of these molecules in a memory array."

You've got it all wrong. Geek and Jock thinking is inversely proportional.

For example, for a jock, the bigger the car, the smaller the penis, while for a geek, the smaller the memory, the bigger the.. umm ego?
