In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

A very common question I am asked is which is more important, the speed of the processor or the amount memory. This is a difficult question to answer and it would help if we had some understanding of ...

In the earlier blog on Ramtron’s MaxArias, Cidbarca raised several excellent questions in two separate comments that will probably take at least three blogs to answer. I made the broad statement that ...
