Samsung announced that they have started production of PRAM memory chips of 512 Mbits (64 MB). These chips will be engraved in 65nm and the foundry promises to soon engrave this PRAM more finely so it will becomes competitive vis-a-vis the FLASH NAND memory.The PRAM is a nonvolatile memory (one can shut off the current without erasing the data) and it is much faster than the current FLASH memory. It would make it possible to produce memory banks with the still new performances. Some even envisage that it could replace the DRAM currently used as random access memory in our computers. Since it would not need to be fed current permanently, the PRAM would consume much less and generate less heat. However one is far from these objectives and it still needs time so that this memory wedged between the flash and the DRAM finds its place. It is possible that it will start its career as a flash memory on RAID cards. This would make it possible n
