I remember hearing Chuck saying some months ago that with the technology
of MuP21 he can make memory (stacks) abot 1000 times more expensively than
the with the technology semiconductor companies make DRAM with. (Whatever
that means.)
If one factors the better geometry of the new stack designs, and the 0.8u
technology of the F21. This ratio could have been improved a bit, but most
definitely not 1000 times :-(
There are always the questions can processors be made with the advanced
memory technology, and can a hybrid be made cheaply enogh. I have
absolutely no clue about it.
