Intel has developed an updated technology that could virtually solve questions about the speed of the memory semiconductor company revealed in its latest research @ Intel event. Developers in the company created a dynamic RAM that behaves like a typical system memory, but you need only two transistors for each memory cell, which needs no capacitors. The invention allows the DRAM small that it can be built into the processor, rather than put in a separate module, potentially eliminating a number of problems associated with a static memory used to cache the current processors.
The processor, which supplements or replaces existing cache will be much more on-chip bandwidth than any current processor and would be tied to the clock, according to Intel. When the 45-nanometer, quad-core Xeon at the present time some of the fastest bandwidth available in a range from 18 to 20 gigabytes per second, the basic 2GHz processor in the old 65-nm process can Shuttle data at 128 gigabytes per second. Dynamic RAM also promises more storage in the same space, and a lower price, which could translate to the processors themselves.
Improvement can effectively repair Intel approach to its chip designs, and that the programmers. Very fast memory access is critical for the future of many of the main processor and may be necessary for the production of an equivalent Intel, 80-core Teraflops Research Chip; developers to write this and related processors may also depend on always having guaranteed access to the cache, which will be virtually guaranteed with the cache becomes faster along with processors.
Intel did not say when and where he initially planned to implement the two-transistor DRAM chips in the future, while the main processor with eight to 16 cores to be in the next few years.

Company Intel has developed a processor for low-cost thin notebooks. His official announcement will take place during 2009.
He is said to be installed in notebooks thick not more than one inch (25 mm) and up to 1500 dollars. Consequently, the new processor is not a substitute or a competitor of chips Intel Atom, used in netbukah and mobile Internet devices, the price of which rarely exceed the level of 500 dollars.
From the perspective of the forthcoming new architecture will be the development of a family of processors Intel ULV Core 2 Duo processor with ultra-low power consumption (for example, SU9300 and SU9400), which are currently being used in expensive subnoutbukah Toshiba Portege R600 and the Sony Vaio TT valued at more than two thousand dollars.
It should be noted that the chips Intel ULV Core 2 Duo processors consume about 10 watts of power, while ordinary “mobile” versions of processors Core 2 Duo – from 25 to 35 watts.
