EETimes.com - AMD licenses Innovative Silicon's SOI memory

EETimes.com - AMD licenses Innovative Silicon's SOI memory:

"Microprocessor company Advanced Micro Device Inc. has signed a technology license for 'floating-body' silicon-on-insulator (SOI) memory developed by startup company Innovative Silicon Inc. AMD (Sunnyvale, Calif.) said it is interested in the Z-RAM (zero capacitor) technology for use in its microprocessors.

The embedded memory is a good fit with AMD, which has moved all its microprocessor production over to SOI manufacturing processes. ISi (Santa Clara, Calif.) has claimed that Z-RAM can achieve five times the density of embedded SRAM, the conventional memory choice for on-chip caches, and twice the density of embedded DRAM."
