Researchers develop silicon ReRAM chip, send warning shot to Flash memory

Researchers develop silicon ReRAM chip, send warning shot to Flash memory

Does the word ReRAM ring a bell. No. Well, the key point is that it's much faster than NAND memory, and it's making its way into chips from Elpida, Sharp and Panasonic. Further proof that ReRAM is on the up and up. Researchers at University College London have used this technology to make a chip that operates at 100 times the speed of standard Flash memory. The device is composed completely of silicon oxide, which improves the chip's resistance, and it doesn't require a vacuum to work (which makes it cheaper to produce).
