The future of DRAM: From DDR5 advancements to future ICs
When the DDR5 specification was introduced in 2020, one of the things that impressed us was the headroom left for further development of the technology, both in terms of performance and in terms of per-device capacity. You can revisit our 2020 thoughts on DDR5 for a quick refresher. Five years later, DDR5 has still not…

Introduction: What’s Happening in 2025? The memory market is about to undergo significant changes, and the message is clear for consumers, businesses, and PC builders: the DRAM price increase in 2025 is not just a prediction; it is already becoming a reality. Analysts predict significant price increases for all major memory types, with some modules…
What is DRAM Memory? Understanding Its Role in RAM, SSDs & System Speed
Introduction With everyday tasks, computing has become an essential part of day-to-day life, and knowing how your device allocates memory is important, especially when considering performance. What is DRAM? Why is it a volatile memory? And what is DRAM in SSDs? We will answer all your queries with the help of this guide. If you…
A new platform for thermally stable DRAM peripheral transistors
Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chips contain many other transistors besides the access transistor to enable full operation of the DRAM memory. These peripheral transistors must meet stringent requirements which preclude a ‘copy-paste’ of regular logic transistor process flows. One critical requirement imposed by present DRAM chip architectures is the ability of the periphery to withstand…
DRAM basics and its quest for thermal stability by optimizing peripheral transistors
For decades, compute architectures have relied on dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) as their main memory, providing temporary storage from which processing units retrieve data and program code. The high-speed operation, large integration density, cost-effectiveness, and excellent reliability have contributed to the widespread adoption of DRAM technology in many electronic devices. DRAM bit cell—the element that…
