Thread: Samsung bring first PRAM market

Samsung just announced that it had delivered the first PRAM in the world to equip mobile consumer products. It is the first chip MCP (Multi Chip Package) that is to say containing multiple dies in one package PRAM marketed in the world; this important announcement marks the introduction of this technology in the consumer market.

Exactly two months ago, Samsung announced the delivery of the first copies of test. The fact that Korean is now passed to the mass production we suggest that tests were inconclusive.

64 MB chips are designed to replace the NOR in mobile products such as smartphones or personal stereos. If the number of devices using this new memory should be limited, we expect a rapid uptake from the next year. Three times faster than NOR in writing, it has the non-volatility of the NAND and it approaches the performance of DRAM.

Hello friends

SEOUL, April 28 (Xinhua) -- Samsung Elecronics Co., the largest memory chipmaker in the world, said Wednesday that it has developed the world's first Phase-Change RAM (PRAM) chip for cell phones, which is expected to become the new standard central processing unit (CPU) for the global mobile phone industry.
Samsung's new 512 megabyte PRAM Multi-Chip Package (MCP) runs three times faster than the NOR flash memory chips most widely used in regular cell phone models, while offering the same features as the memory devices currently used in the market, making it more efficient in processing data, the company said in a statement.
The South Korean company said it plans to expand the use of its new PRAM technology into other areas including large data storage, MP3 players, portable multimedia players, as well as digital TVs in the future.
