Embedded RAM →
For years, there has been speculation that traditional SRAM would be replaced with a denser type of memory for SoC devices. In fact, TI once announced that they would use ferroelectric RAM or FeRAM beginning at 90nm for their devices. Fear of ever-worsening process variability has been widespread. Alas, we have entered the 45nm period, […]

45nm: What Intel Didn’t Tell You →
This article originally appeared in EETimes Under the Hood. Unfortunately, there was an editing hiccup, so I have decided to post the complete text of the original article here. -Ed
Two months after Semiconductor Insights provided the first public view of Intel’s 45nm technology and nearly a month after Intel’s IEDM presentation, it seems appropriate to revisit […]

ITRS Pre-release →
Today Laura Peters from Semiconductor International (the other SI) hosted a webcast providing an overview of the contents of the upcoming 2007 Edition of the Semiconductor Industry Association’s (SIA) roadmap for technology - the ITRS. If there is anyone who really knows what’s in that upcoming document, it is Intel’s Alan Allan, and he gave […]

CES Thursday →
And here we are at the last day of CES. I said that I was excited about a meeting that I had lined up for today… but let me preface it with a bit about myself. I’m a StarWars fan. Over the past years I have owned no less than 4 versions of the original […]
CES Wednesday - The Quirk Report →
First off, I had a reader comment on my post from yesterday and I must make a correction. The Samsung 128GB SSD uses 51nm NAND flash, not 56nm as I had originally written. I apologize for that… must be the long days! (Nice job, Greg. I hope your boss is reading! Ed)
Now onto today’s excitement. […]

CES Tuesday →
So now that all of the press conferences are over, it was time to get into the nitty gritty with the vendors to find out what is happening and get some hard details, as well as see some demos in action up close and personal.
My first meeting was with ESS. I was a bit unfamiliar […]
CES Sunday Press Announcements - more commentary... →
So Sunday was the first full press day at CES, and it started early and went all day. There were a couple of interesting announcements, but nothing earth shattering enough to make me want to run to the nearest Future Shop (or Best Buy if you are not in the Great White North, Ed) to wait […]
CES Monday →
Monday started out early yet again with a briefing from Clarion at 8AM. Connectivity is king at CES and is being crowned everywhere I turn. The most interesting part of their press conference was the mobile internet navigation display (MiND) which is going to come out in 3Q08 for around $700 - $800. This has […]
SI Analysyt Flouts “Vegas Rules” at CES →
Our own Gregory A. Quirk is in Vegas this week to provide all the news, announcements, and just maybe the odd bit of good, old fashioned rumor. They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but technology news just has to remain above the law… It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Some people […]
