This modeled application of an STT-MRAM integrating the memory as cachememory and recorded a two-thirds reduction in power consumption by a standard mobile chip set carrying out standard operating functions, a result confirming that the new MRAM element has the lowest power consumption yet achieved.
The Pre Rec (retro cache) feature continuously records and stores up to five seconds of footage in cachememory to help prevent missed shots of breaking news, while a second trigger and servo zoom control on the built-in handle makes it easy to record while holding the camera at low or high angles.
Going forward Toshiba expects to bring the new memory element to STT-MRAM cachememory for mobile processors integrated into smartphones and tablet PCs, and will promote accelerated research and development toward that end.
