Memory as we approach a new horizon
Justin Pawlowski · 2016
All memory continues to scale, increasingly difficult and complex. New DRAM architectures in work across all major application areas. Numerous very high bandwidth options with GDDR5X as highest BW/$. HMC delivers unique advantages for ultra-high bandwidth applications. Emergence of persistent memory, first as DRAM+NAND NVDIMM: evolving, enabling new and better products. 2016 production of first new memory technology in decades: 3D XPointTMmemory. The future: blending the many existing and new memory types: overall cost and performance tuned to the application.
