Nagare Labs unveils Z2RAM for AI chips, promising SRAM speed at DRAM density

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Nagare Labs, a startup backed by Pat Gelsinger, has developed Z2RAM, a new memory technology that aims to provide SRAM speeds with DRAM density. This capacitorless design, detailed in published papers, has demonstrated data retention of over 300 seconds at 85°C. Z2RAM is designed to be integrated directly onto AI chips, potentially addressing the bandwidth limitations and heat constraints that affect current high-bandwidth memory solutions. AI

IMPACT Could alleviate bandwidth bottlenecks and thermal constraints in AI accelerators, enabling more powerful and efficient AI chips.
