Memory Technologies

SOCAMM: The New Memory Kit on the AI Block

SOCAMM (Small Outline Compression Attached Memory Module) emerges as a purpose-built memory architecture designed by NVIDIA and developed in partnership with Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix to bridge a critical performance and efficiency gap in AI-centric platforms. By combining the high-bandwidth and energy efficiency of LPDDR5X memory with a modular, socketed form factor, SOCAMM redefines the interface between memory and compute.

DDR6: The Next Evolution in High-Performance Memory

DDR6 promises to redefine performance benchmarks across artificial intelligence (AI), cloud infrastructure, high-performance gaming, and enterprise workloads. We have synthesized available draft specifications, as well as vendor and JEDEC working group insights, to provide a comprehensive overview of DDR6 development timelines, architectural innovations, comparative performance metrics, and market adoption trends.

Discontinuation of eMMC: A Guide for Developers & OEMs

The decision to phase out eMMC storage is forced by several factors. Memory manufacturers believe there has been an added price pressure in the last two years. Moreover, large memory manufacturers are keen on developing high-margin memory products. These products can provide greater profitability and reinvestment potential, catering to the price pressures associated with eMMC. We take a closer look at eMMC and compared it with UFS, SDs as well as SSDs.

E2 SSD: The New Storage Superhero

Emerging workloads across AI, big data, IoT, and hyperscale compute require a rethinking of storage infrastructure as existing storage form factors struggle to scale in terms of capacity, density, power, and performance. Enter the E2 SSD form factor, developed jointly by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) and the Open Compute Project (OCP).

Let's take a closer look!

Application Examples

FeRAM-Enabled Anti-Counterfeit Authentication

Counterfeit products pose health and safety threats but also impact the economic growth of legitimate businesses. Traditional digital authentication via challenge–response with stored keys is increasingly susceptible to key leakage and cloning.

Together with Ramxeed, we have outlined a FeRAM-based, encryption-less authentication (“spectral authentication”) approach that leverages the intrinsic analog pulsation signature generated during FeRAM switching.

Smarter Smart Metesr & Edge-AI Data Loggers with MRAM

Smart meters and AI-based edge data loggers enable accurate, real-time monitoring of energy consumption and industrial parameters. They continuously record data, transmit it wirelessly, and support over-the-air (OTA) updates. The memory embedded in these devices must offer not only non-volatility and fast access but also high durability.

MRAM addresses these demands more effectively than traditional options.

3 Edge AI Architectures That Demand Smarter Memory

As AI is shifting from hyperscalers in data centers to the edge, the need for memory is changing. In this article for Wevolver, we explore how three edge AI architectures; robotics, system-on-modules (SoMs), and medical devices, are driving this shift, and how MRAM and FeRAM are enabling smarter, more resilient memory at the edge.
