The quest of embedded memory's holy grail

"Scientists at Philips Research have developed a phase-change memory promising to match the speed, density, low-voltage and low-power consumption requirements of future deep sub-micron silicon chips."

“The holy grail of the embedded memory industry is a so-called unified memory that replaces all other types, which combines the speed of SRAM with the memory density of DRAM and the non-volatility of flash,” said Karen Attenborough, project leader of the scalable unified memory project at Philips Research, in a statement.

“Philips’ new phase-change line-cell technology is a significant step towards this goal,” she added.
