While it’s possible to use non-volatile storage for the same kind of tasks that RAM performs (things like scratch disks and Intel’s Optane memory are good examples), the lower speed makes this ...

By unraveling the technology behind memory storage at the transistor level, you’ll discover how data is constantly read, written, and retained, making our digital world function seamlessly.

The company was also showing CXL memory modules, CMM-D, with integrated CXL controllers and discussed memory pooling using CXL. The image below features some of Samsung’s 2025 CES announcements.

After a brief delay, the average person can only recall about 5-9 numbers. Short-term memory has a limited storage capacity, only holding information for a few seconds to a minute.
