It's not quite SRAM, it needs to be refreshed like DRAM. That's the main downside compared to SRAM but it's still very interesting.

- choilive 15d agoYes, the density vs power tradeoff could make a lot of sense in a few applications.
- MBCook 15d agoI wonder if it would start to make sense for SRAM caches to shrink (or not grow as fast) in favor of adding on chip DRAM cache at some tier.
