Micron, currently the third largest DRAM maker in the world behind Samsung Electronics Co.

Another rationale is that prices of DRAM and NAND chips have remained stable so far this year.

However, DRAM parts with just four data bit signals also exist, so there might be some lanes consisting of just four data bits.

[USPRwire, Thu Jan 15 2015] DRAM is a type of RAM used in various electronic devices such as PCs, smartphones, music players, laptops, netbooks, and tablets.

Officially, a fluid dram is an eighth of an ounce - or 3.7ml - but in whisky measures it simply means "a wee bit".

According to the company, the new 1Gb wide I/O mobile DRAM can transmit data at 12.8GB/s, which increases the bandwidth of mobile DDR DRAM (1.6GB/s) eightfold, while reducing power consumption by approximately 87%.

'The last time we saw a DRAM revenue decline of this scale was in 1985 when the market declined 55.1 per cent,' said Andrew Norwood, senior analyst with Gartner Dataquest's worldwide semiconductors group.

The Rambus DRAM for servers and high-performance PCs has four input/output channels instead of the single channel of other Rambus devices and it allows data to be transmitted at 6.4Gb/s - or four times faster than one-channel versions.

Key issues included the importance of DRAMs as a technology driver at Intel; the importance of DRAMs in Intel's product market strategy; the allocation of scarce manufacturing capacity; the allocation of R&D resources to different businesses; the integration of process technology development and manufacturing; the retention and deployment of key talent, and, more generally, Intel's ability to compete in commodity businesses.

The key here is the word "equivalent," which simply means that the load is equal to the performance of an old black powder load with a certain amount of powder as measured by the drams (avoirdupois) method.
