IBM claims new eDRAM will double processor performance. ibm edram. According to the company, the eDRAM chip "vastly improves microprocessor performance in multi-core designs and speeds the movement of graphics in gaming, networking, and other image intensive, multi-media applications." As semiconductor components have reached the atomic scale, design innovation at the chip-level has replaced materials science as a key factor in continuing Moore’s Law." eDRAM so far has been used in applications ranging from supercomputing to gaming. For example, IBM’s BlueGene/L system uses eDRAM as L3 cache technology, while game consoles such as the Gamecube, the Xbox 360 and the Wii have been using eDRAM as embedded memory technology for their graphics processors. Compared to conventional DRAM modules, integrating DRAM has provided a key advantage of performance gains eliminating the need to drive I/O signals to external memory chips. eDRAM manufacturers such as NEC also believe that the technology will make its way into mobile application due to the low power consumption of eDRAM devices....

The 500 MHz eDRAM device is built using a 90 nm process, unchanged from the original 90 nm chips th. The 500 MHz eDRAM device is built using a 90 nm process, unchanged from the original 90 nm chips that have been providing by NEC since the launch of the console in November 2005....

Embedded DRAM (eDRAM) hasn't been put to much use, primarily because it costs a lot to produce. Embedded DRAM (eDRAM) hasn't been put to much use, primarily because it costs a lot to produce. However, eDRAM could have a significant impact on applications like voice over Internet protocols by allowing DSPs to handle up to ten times more channels per packet. According to a story on EETimes.com , NEC and Atmos are working together to develop affordable eDRAM chips that run at between 400 MHz and 1 GHz. They figure the market for eDRAM will increase from $43 million this year to $174 million by 2004. ...

If the 65 nm Xenos "v2" scales down linearly from 90 nm, the new die size should be around 125 mm2, while the eDRAM chip will remain at 70 mm2. We believe that TSMC will use a 45 nm process for this Multi-Chip-Module package (CPU+GPU+eDRAM)....
