Apocalipse 2014: The End of DRAM single cell area reduction
With overall 8Gbit per DRAM Chip More Here.
a 4F2 DRAM cell really should have transistors at every possible transistor location. Thus, DDR4 will be the last single cell DRAM version.
BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Oh, by the way: The end of further Flash cell size reduction too. And, we already reached logic transistor cell area reduction end too. The end of Moore Law? Well, not quite. There is still the third dimension left unused!By the way, 8GByte will be common PC memory module in 2014. For Windows 8. Nice number matching. Hard to imagine that you need 8GB of memory to make your PC running, when 640KB was sufficient and max limit in 1981. Some 10.000 times less ! Think about the 10000 square meters for your working space compared to only 1 square meter.
