  1. Numonyx webcast on Phase Change Memory on Thursday http://tinyurl.com/y9dtcok
  2. Taiwan Memory now OK for government funds (http://tinyurl.com/ye3qgj5) Previous report in error? Time delay? Different funding pockets? TBD
  3. Taiwan Lawmakers Reject $$$ for Taiwan Memory.IMO end of chapter,not end of story.Too much talent.Will see new plan(s). http://tiny.cc/qff6d
  4. RT@bfrench Great preso by Mary Meeker (http://ow.ly/vzfJ) OEMs will see value ratio shifting from processor to memory for mobile apps IMO
  5. ITRI workshop on new NVM memory technologies. Taiwan on Nov 16-17. http://nnvm.itri.org.tw/
  6. Harris and Harris “Meet the Portfolio” previews Adesto on Wednesday. Must see! (www.hhvc.com/events.cfm) View Save-the-Date Info.
  7. Surface Mount Technology Assoc conference in San Diego started today (Sunday). Agenda looks good. Includes info on 3-D and TSV stacking.
  8. IMEC's very busy! Announced today TSV stacked memory, resistive RAM scaling to 25nm, floating body cells replacing DRAM/SRAM. Impressive.
  9. RT dltweeting Hybrid Intel-ARM twin processor in Dell laptop. So, it's a smartbook in a laptop? http://bit.ly/1MMyzb
  10. Thanks to Intel. IDF this week in San Francisco. Great presentations, new info, chance to see old friends, and fantastic restaurants.
  11. IBM 32nm SOI embed'd DRAM.Impressive processor performance from larger memory array.Denser than CMOS embed'd SRAM. http://tinyurl.com/qmwhex
  12. Check out new EDN blog site. http://www.edn.com/professormemory/ Looks at technologies/events related to emerging memory technologies.
  13. Correction re: Micron/Numonyx. "Acquisition" is far too strong. "Rumored speculation of interest" is more appropriate.
  14. EETimes rumor of Micron acquisition of Numonyx for NAND/NOR. Maybe. But the Phase Change IP does make sense. http://tinyurl.com/l6934g
  15. Samsung Elec annual market cap vs Intel goes from $50B to $6B. Compete on phone vs laptop platform. Samsung #1 in memory, #2 in handsets.
  16. Elpida offers 55M new shares, share price fall 16%. WW memory ASPs rising since 4Q08. Conditions improving, but apparently not yet healthy.
  17. Check out IBM Power7 @ Hot Chips. Memory relevance? Huge performance boost from dense SOI on-chip embedded DRAM. http://tinyurl.com/knx8lb
  18. Ironic. TI sold their US DRAM facility to Micron when TI exited DRAMs. Now TI is making an offer for Qimonda's US DRAM facility.
  19. Ironic. TI sold their US DRAM facility to Micron when TI exited DRAMs. Now TI is making an offer for Qimoda's US DRAM facility.
  20. Final thoughts from Flash conf. Broken models, missing OEM expectations,etc versus memory price increases + capex surge. Innovation ahead.
