Intel Set To Demo PRAM

Posted by kdawson on from the flashier dept.

xavatarx writes "Intel's chief technology officer Justin Rattner is set to give the first public demonstration of the company's PRAM (phase-change RAM) technology at this week's Intel Developer Forum conference. 'Intel and other companies are counting on PRAM to replace both NOR and NAND flash memory to generate the demand required to produce the new memory chips in volume, and drive down costs,' the article says."

      PRAM is so last year. I'm into PUSHCHAIR already, and looking forward to move to TRICYCLE real soon now.

      I believe Xenex was pretending to confuse two acronyms for humourous effect.

      I suggest you add him to a list of humans that use humour, and ensure your emotion emulator is powered up before replying to posts by humans on that list in future. It is very important that the humans here do not realise that we are not like them.

      Apple *does* have phase-changing RAM... it changes from solid to smoke, you'll only see it in certain laptops with sony batteries though

    How are Intel and others managing this chalcogenide glass manufacturing in their usual silicon DRAM process? Is this glass fused/bonded to silicon or something?
    If that is your idea of a lay question, I'd hate to be hit with one of your "expert" questions.

    What!? Don't tell me you're scared of fringe effects on leakage current, non-linear C-V models, and photo mask correction factors! Sheesh! Nerds these days...

    There's this new thing called a "dictionary". They even have them online for free nowadays. According to www.dictionary.com (which pulled its entry from the Random House Unabridged) it's KAL-_kuh_-_juh_-nayhd as the preferred pronounciation, but you can also say kal-KOJ-_uh_-nayhd.
