IBM Demonstrates New Memory Technology Better Than Flash
Sunday, December 10th, 2006 at 2:00 PM - by John Martellaro
A new chip technology, called phase-change storage, developed by IBM and its partners was recently demonstrated to be 500 times faster and use half the power of current Flash memory, according to Infoworld0. The technology could also replace smaller hard disks.
IBM said this technology would "do a better job of storing songs, pictures, and other data on iPods and digital cameras than current flash memory, and could someday replace disk drives." Phase change memory has advantages over Flash memory. Like Flash, it is also non-volatile, but so far the testing shows more durability compared to Flash memory which starts to break down after 100,000 writes.
IBM lead a team that included Qimonda and Taiwan's Macronix. Customers will have to wait a few years for the technology to become commercially practical.
