GlobalFoundries, T-RAM promise denser caches

jmke · 18th May 2009, 21:09

Future AMD processors may end up with denser caches than expected—as could other chips manufactured by AMD's former foundry arm. Indeed, GlobalFoundries has announced a joint development agreement with T-RAM, as part of which the two firms will bring T-RAM's Thyristor-RAM embedded memory technology to "advanced technology nodes."

Thyristor-RAM will find its way into GlobalFoundries' 32nm and 22nm processes in both bulk-silicon and silicon-on-insulator flavors. If what AMD told us last November is still accurate, GlobalFoundries will start ramping its 32nm bulk process in the fourth quarter of this year, with the 32nm SOI variant to follow in the first quarter of 2010.
