These guys just silly. They don’t get difference between these types of memory.
Actually, at the clock speed of iPad’s processor you can’t run programs directly from NAND, you have to copy it into RAM and only then run it from RAM.
- ordinary 15y agoNAND doesn't replace RAM functionally, but if you're a chip maker, you can make money from both. If sales of the one drop and those of the other go up, a shift in strategy (less DRAM, more NAND) is decidedly unsilly. This is especially true of the two developments are related, which they are: RAM sales are dropping because there's not a lot of RAM in the iPad, while NAND sales are going up because (among other reasons) there's an SSD in the iPad.
