Samsung announces OneDRAM fusion memory chip

South Korean tech giant Samsung has announced that they have developed a prototype of “fusion” memory chip.

This memory chip could be placed between microprocessors in embedded systems like mobile phones for faster data transfer between various components of the device.

Samsung added that this OneDRAM chip combines elements of static RAM (SRAM) and DRAM. This prototype chip run at 133 MHz, and will be 512 Mbits in total capacity.

Chang-Gyu Hwang, president and chief executive of Samsung Electronics’ semiconductor business spoke on this new product: “Unlike the paradigm shift from the personal computer to mobile and digital consumer applications, the introduction of massive-scale fusion technology – which represents the organic convergence of IT, BT and NT, will bring together a wide range of technology-related professions as the foundation for a new technology frontier.”

He further added: “This historic new frontier will change the way we develop and harness semiconductor technologies in substantially improving the level of day-to-day convenience for consumers.”
