DRAM Almost as Fast as SRAM

An anonymous reader writes "IBM said it has been able to speed up the DRAM to the point where it's nearly as fast as SRAM, and that the result is a type of memory known as embedded DRAM, or eDRAM, that helps boost the performance of chips with multiple core calculating engines and is particularly suited for enabling the movement of graphics in gaming and other multimedia applications. DRAM will also continue to be used off the chip."

All chips wait at the same speed.

Nuh uh! I guarantee my computer can do nothing a whole lot faster than yours can.

So SRAM and DRAM is fast? That's nothing... Wait until they combine it into SDRAM!
