Measuring just about 3.9″ x 2.8″, the new Gigabyte GA-PICO3350 motherboard is just a little larger than a Raspberry Pi Model B (3.4″ x 2.2″). But while the Raspberry Pi features an ARM-based processor ...

For design engineers developing the next generation motherboards, DRAMmemory is becoming a major concern as end-users demand more memory.Software operating systems are getting larger and the ...

The next-generation memory market for embedded applications is becoming more crowded as another technology emerges in the arena—embedded phase-change memory. Phase-change memory is not new and has ...

Sapphire Technology has begun taking orders for a small form factor (SFF) embedded motherboard with an AMD Ryzen V1000 APU (accelerated processing unit) running the show. The APU is permanently ...

It seems a new memory technology is needed to shrink MCUs and SoCs without redesigning the memory system and keep costs in check. It’s expected that, over the next decade, an emerging memory (PCM?

In 1981 an industry leader was rumored to have said, “Nobody will ever need more than 640KB of RAM.” Whether he said it or not might be up for debate, but it soon became abundantly clear that 640K ...

Due to the overwhelming technical advantages of having on-chip memories, embedded memories are ubiquitous in most chip designs, and can comprise significant portions of a chip (upwards of 50%, ...

A research team has successfully developed 128Mb-density STT-MRAM (spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive random access memory) with a write speed of 14 ns for use in embedded memory applications, such ...
