Samsung and Numonyx have come together to develop market specifications for Phase Change Memory (PCM/PRAM) that will allow manufacturers to develop devices on common specs. PCM is a non-volatile memory that boasts fast read and write speeds, effectively combining the advantages of RAM, NOR and NAND.
The specifications that are being prepared will support JEDEC LPDDR2 (Low Power Memory Device Standard), which means the manufacturers can take advantage of while creating feature rich handset and applications, high-end computing devices, embedded systems and much more.
Both the companies expect the common specification to be completed by this year while having compliant devices by next year.
