Five Emerging Memory Technologies, With MRAM In Pole Position
Blocks & Files, Thursday, September 7,2023
Two semiconductor analysts have written an Emerging Memories report and suggest MRAM has good prospects for replacing SRAM and NOR flash in edge computing devices needing to process and analyze data in real-time.
Tom Coughlin of Coughlin Associates and Objective Analysis' Jim Handy have produced a 272-page, 30-table analysis of the prospects for five emerging memory technologies: MRAM, Phase-Change Memory (PCM), Ferro-Electric RAM (FERAM), Resistive RAM (ReRAM) and NRAM/UltraRAM. These are typically non-volatile memories with DRAM data access speeds, and roadmaps to increased densities that promise to go beyond the scaling limits of NAND and NOR and use less electricity than the constantly refreshed DRAM and SRAM.
