In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

My last blog post concluded that a plethora of new memory performance attributes are becoming available. This is in stark contrast with the traditional image of the memory suppliers as a few large ...

QUESTION: I’m in the market for a new computer. Which processor I should be considering? ANSWER: The processor plays an important role in any computer, but the deciding factor is what you plan to do ...

While most of the focus on this blog tends to be on the memory cell structures, the memory interface to the rest of the system is also a critical element in the system architecture. The interface ...

A group of researchers from Stanford have developed a way to combine processors and memory on multiple hybrid chips to allow AI to run on battery-powered devices such as smartphones and tablets. The ...

Transactions between processors and memory can consume 95 percent of the energy needed to do machine learning and AI, which severely limits battery life. A team of engineers has designed a system that ...

Notebook makers are under growing pressure as memory shortages and price increases persist, while a widening shortage of CPUs adds a second constraint. What began as a supply gap at Intel has now ...
