If DRAM is so expensive now, why don't manufacturers switch to producing SRAM instead?
>>107585377Because SRAM is even more expensive, retard
>>107585394Assume I can mine materials from any isekai setting, what helps drop any cost most rapidly?
>>107585462SRAM needs more space per bit saved so you'd have to have way bigger chips for the same number of bits
>>107585377
>>107585526Yeah, I should mention which function
>>107585462Silicon at the required purities, is super cheap. That is not where the cost originates. The processing and photo lithography is what makes it expensive, and reliability is what limits the typical size. With perfect reliability they would have embedded a 300 mm wafer inside each motherboards with all the memory and processing you could dream of.
>>107586012>Silicon at the required purities, is super cheapIt used to be. It's been hard to get no matter what you're willing to pay for a couple years now. For obvious reasons.>they would have embedded a 300 mm wafer inside each motherboardsHow do you plan on cooling that?
>>107585394SRAM is much larger, more expensive, eats more power and gets slower (latency and bandwidth loss) as it gets larger.
>>107586646>coolingCPUs and GPUs run hot, RAM not so much. And you can use embedded CU cooling planes in PCBs to spread out the heat for faster dissipation. HP used that on some of their PA-RISC boards.
>>107585377Give me some TCAM instead.
we're just going to go back to DVD-RAM
