| Numonyx 1GB PCM devices still not ready to roll
|
2010-04-26 |
| The arrival of 1GB PCM devices would go some way towards establishing PCM as a scalable alternative to flash memory but its delay would fuel speculation that it is hard to make it is going to be de-emphasised. Numonyx BV has yet to sample customers with a long-awaited 1Gbit capacity phase-change memory (PCM). The arrival of that memory would go some way towards establishing PCM as a scalable alternative to flash memory. Similarly, its delay could fuel speculation that PCM is hard to make, or that the technology is going to be de-emphasised when Micron completes its acquisition of the Numonyx. |
