AMD Licenses Z-RAM Technology

Posted by Zonk on from the anything-is-better-with-a-z dept.

ZuperDee writes "It appears AMD has licensed Z-RAM technology from Innovative Silicon for possible use in future processors. According to the article, this could lead to caches about 5 times denser than the SRAM that is normally used right now. C|Net says they will probably make the announcement on Monday."

      We have run out of ram letters!

      Don't worry - they've thought of such an eventuality - when all the letters are used up they simply move on to the list of reserved names.

      If another RAM is invented this year, it will be Alberto-RAM, then Beryl-RAM, etc etc.

      Full list here

    Organ Dealer: Z is just as good. In fact, is better. Is two more than X.
