Demand for computer memory is surging and DRAM will pass $100 billion this year

The DRAM market will grow about 39% this year and surpass $100 billion. It will become the first category of semiconductor to hit that milestone.

Samsung is the leading DRAM supplier and Hynix is number two.

  1. Soon, very soon, AMD can offer integrated memory on the infiniband bus. Faster, cheaper, more battery life. Then what? Duh! You get a bargain. Samsung makes a new plan. AMD already integrated high end graphics on laptop chips. Faster, cheaper, more battery life, thinner, easier to design.

  3. I find it remarkable that the more or less the same sort of memory, with process shrinks, and increased clock rates has dominated since the 70s since it took over from ferrite cores. Year after year, I think some sort of nonvolatile magnetic memory without the need to be refreshed, will replace all those little energy sucking capacitors, but they somehow always remain cheaper/faster/more durable than the competition. On the other hand, as long as the price keeps dropping, and the I/O keeps getting faster,. who am I to complain? Seriously though, some day this stuff has to die!
