The Semiconductor Memory Roadmap

Semiconductor memory has been the silent engine of digital progress for over half a century. The 1970s saw Intel’s 1103 DRAM replace magnetic core memory, igniting the modern era of high-density, low-cost storage.

Through the 1980s and 1990s, DRAM scaled aggressively, powering the PC revolution, while NAND flash emerged from Toshiba’s labs to enable portable storage.
