Flash memory works best in small, low-memory gadgets such as phones, cameras and portable music players.

FORBES: Seagate Sues Emerging Rival

Thinfilm has been working on low-cost sensor tags containing rewritable memory that can be placed on anything from a bunch of bananas to a bottle of perishable pills and that can collect a bevy of information, including the environmental conditions the fruit and drugs have passed through to how long it took them to get from the factory to a distribution outlet.

Customers may also pre-install other high performance components to the servers from the factory, including low latency network cards, high performance memory, and hot swappable front-facing PCIe SSD storage.

FORBES: Dell Accelerates Servers For High Frequency Algo Trading

Thanks to rapid advancements in microprocessors, software, screens, memory chips and storage disks, Dell has commoditized low-end computers and had them supplant high-end proprietary technology.

FORBES: Pulled in a New Direction

ZettaCore, in Denver, aims to boost memory chip performance by using molecules to do ultradense, low-power data storage.

FORBES: Mr. Nanotech

Last summer, the scientists chose fifty-five subjects, equally split between high delayers and low delayers, and sent each one a laptop computer loaded with working-memory experiments.

NEWYORKER: Don��t!

The test chip will enable the correlation of the simulation models to the FinFET process and contains test structures, standard cells, a PLL and embedded SRAMs. The memory instances include high-density SRAMs designed to operate at very low voltages and high-speed SRAMs to validate the process performance.
