The sample shipment of the flash memory microcontroller using a 28nm process technology has been announced by Renesas Electronics. To contribute to the realisation of next-gen green cars and autonomous vehicles with higher efficiency and higher reliability, the RH850/E2x Series MCU incorporates up to six 400MHz CPU cores, which according to the company makes it the first on-chip flash memory automotive MCU to achieve the industry's high...

Rambus has announced a collaboration with IBM to research hybrid memory systems. Targeting one of the industry’s key performance challenges, Rambus Labs and IBM aim to optimise the use of DRAM and emerging memories to create a high-capacity memory subsystem that delivers comparable performance to DRAM alone.

The rapid confluence of AI and the IoT have not only fueled an increasing demand for various smart application and smart devices and servers, but also increased performance demand in computing power and transfer speed. In response to the successive upgrade in Intel’s and AMD’s servers, desktop processors, and mobile processors platforms, Apacer has outpaced its competitors in the mass production of DDR4-2666 memory modules for server ...

Toshiba Memory Europe GmbH has added to its portfolio of solid-state drives (SSDs) for the data centre a new line-up of 3D flash memory-based PCI Express NVMe and SATA SSDs in multiple form factors. The new CD5, XD5 and HK6-DC SSDs enable infrastructure managers to address performance and workload demands by offering robust performance and reliability with lower operating power for read-intensive applications such as NoSQL databases, big dat...

  Digital memory and security could be transformed according to research, which has for the first time showed that antiferromagnets can be easily controlled and read by switching the direction of ordinary electrical currents at super-fast speed.

Cypress Semiconductor has announced a serial non-volatile memory family that offers performance and reliability for mission-critical data capture. The Excelon Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (F-RAM) family delivers high-speed non-volatile data logging, preventing data-loss even in harsh automotive and industrial operating environments over extreme temperatures.

At the recent embedded world exhibition, Winbond Electronics Corporation, a supplier of semiconductor memory solutions, unveiled a new class of NAND Flash ICs which offer high quality and long data retention suitable for use in mission critical code storage applications at densities of 512Mb (64MBytes) and above.

At Mobile World Congress, Western Digital released what it claims to be the world’s fastest UHS-I flash memory card, the 400GB SanDisk Extreme UHS-I microSDXC card, and demonstrated the future of flash memory card technology with Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe)-enabled cards, designed to deliver the performance required for the next wave of data and content-intensive applications.

Silicon Motion Technology has introduced its new FerriSSD single-chip SSDs that feature a PCIe Gen 3 NVMe 1.3 interface for high performance mission critical applications. The SM689 supports PCIe Gen 3x4 interface while the SM681 supports PCI Gen 3x2 interface - exhibiting sequential read speed of up to 1.45GB/s and sequential write speed of up to 650MB/s.

Designed for use in notebook PCs, all-in-one and slim-line desktop systems, and other applications requiring high capacity storage and 2.5" mobile-class durability, Toshiba Electronics Europe has  announced the launch of its new MQ04 Series 2TB HDD model MQ04ABD200.
