Secondly, it has developed a new type of flash technology called PRAM (Phase-change Random Access Memory) which is claimed to be 30 times as fast as conventional flash.Featured Whitepaper

In the other bit of news out of Samsung, believes its new PRAM technology will be a viable competitor to NOR flash over the next decade. Among things PRAM does not need to erase data before rewriting new data, which contributes to its order of magnitude speed advantage. In addition, Samsung claims that PRAM will also last more than 10 times longer than conventional flash memory. One of the drawbacks of flash is its limited life span, it's relatively slow speed and the low number of times it can be rewritten. PRAM is designed address all these issues. {moscomment} |
