In the new ram art, MRAM edge of things and computing devices having particularly attractive. Because it can implement than the preferred storage class memory -NAND currently on the type of hardware flash - much lower power consumption, while achieving non-volatile data storage. Non-volatile MRAM itself access speed is quite fast, which means that they can not only use it to replace flash on the type of hardware equipment, but also can replace most of the SRAM, thus further cost savings.
MRAM and the target market is different, ReRAM and PCRAM more likely to occur in the data center server, the two devices are ideal for storage class memory. Providing one kind of SCM and cheaper than DARM faster than the intermediate storage layer NAND products. Intel's 3D XPoint Optane Persistent Memory products seem to use some sort of phase-change technology, it is an early example of application of PCRAM technology.
In MRAM this track, the Samsung was in March last year sold its first MRAM product, as well as the home Everspin MRAM product is IBM as a provider of high-capacity (19TB) SSD cache. EVERSPIN its MRAM product is supported by the flash controller Sage Microelectronics for enterprise-class SSD's. The world's largest semiconductor equipment maker, Applied Materials, Inc. is a major supplier of many of the new system the industry's top foundries, Applied Materials, Inc. for the mass production of MRAM, PCRAM and ReRAM designed in order to help make devices based on these new technologies more reliable and cost-effective.
New applications bring the data explosion caused data access performance and computing performance growing imbalance, thus promoting the development of many new random access memory (RAM) technology. Remains to be seen whether the recent ram to open new markets in the progress of new technology in the field of RAM to take off. Of course, if the new system manufactured by Applied Materials, RAM's success, it naturally means that the market will see more of these devices use alternative new RAM devices, but also may be some new memory suppliers.
