10/25 A Better Way to Measure Progress in Semiconductors It’s time to throw out the old Moore’s Law metric CeRAM がハイレベル・キャッシュメモリ・プロセッサーに使用されるSRAMを置き換える | 加納技術経営研究所

Earlier this month, a group of seven Arm Research engineers established a startup, Cerfe Labs, to commercialize an experimental memory technology they had been working on for the past five years with Colorado-based Symetrix. The technology, called correlated electron RAM (CeRAM), could become a nonvolatile replacement for the fast-access embedded SRAM used in processor high-level cache memory today. Besides being able to hold data in the absence of a power supply, which SRAM cannot do, CeRAM is likely to be considerably smaller than SRAM, potentially easing IC area issues as the industry’s ability to keep shrinking transistors reaches its end.
