Is DRAM adhering to Moore’s Law?
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-is-dram-adhering-to-moores-law/Writing for PC Magazine, Michael J. Miller notes that although most of the discussion around Moore’s Law has thus far focused on logic chips, the memory industry has clearly entered a transitional stage. “DRAM shrinks have slowed dramatically. Most of the makers are now in the transition to 20nm DRAM with perhaps one or two […]
Jeep hack highlights critical automotive vulnerabilities
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-jeep-hack-highlights-critical-automotive-vulnerabilities/Security researchers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek recently highlighted a series of automotive vulnerabilities when they hacked a Chrysler jeep driven by Wired journalist Andy Greenberg. Indeed, the duo managed to (wirelessly) assume control over dashboard functions, steering, transmission and brakes. Image Credit: Wired Shortly after the widely publicized hack, Chrysler confirmed it would be […]

The closing session – which also featured AKQA Chairman Tom Bedecarre and Edith Yeung of 500 Mobile Collective – explored how consumers will interact with their IoT devices and applications in a […]
Hardware-based encryption market revenue to hit $36.4 billion
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/hardware-based-encryption-market-revenue-to-hit-36-4-billion-2/There are a number of ways for companies to secure data – whether on the perimeter or within the local area network (LAN). However, as ABI Research analysts recently confirmed, the most fundamental method in a defense-in-depth model is hardware encryption. “The advantage of hardware-based solutions is that they bypass many of the typical drawbacks […]
Server market growth tied to increased memory demand
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/server-market-growth-tied-to-increased-memory-demand-2/Loren Shalinsky, a Strategic Development Director at Rambus, recently penned an article for Semiconductor Engineering that explores how server market growth has prompted a salient increase in memory demand. “A high-end server can have 48 or more DIMM slots, providing nearly 200x the memory capacity as a standard PC. A server not only requires more memory, […]

Data centers need a new paradigm
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-data-centers-need-a-new-paradigm/Semiconductor Engineering editor in chief Ed Sperling has written an article exploring the evolution of the data center in the context of the Cloud. As Sperling notes, corporate data centers are notorious for their reluctant adoption of new technology. “There is too much at stake to make quick changes, which accounts for a number of failed […]
Building the IoT with solar-powered smart sensors
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/csi-building-the-iot-with-solar-powered-smart-sensors/As MIT’s Larry Hardesty notes, the rapidly evolving Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to boast extremely low-power sensors capable of running for months on a single charge using various energy harvesting techniques. Indeed, MIT researchers have designed a power converter chip designed to both power a device and charge a battery that’s more than […]
Bolstering mobile security for the IoE
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-bolstering-mobile-security-for-the-ioe/Writing for Semiconductor Engineering, Ernest Worthman notes that approximately six billion people rely on a variety of mobile devices to shop, bank, interface with social media and monitor their health. “Unless you are on the inside track and know better, one would think that all that data is secure. Reality is somewhat different,” Worthman explains. […]
Bringing your own encryption and keys to the Cloud
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-bringing-your-own-encryption-and-keys-to-the-cloud/Sean McGrath of InformationWeek recently confirmed that the rise of the public Cloud as a “de-facto standard” has prompted businesses to ask new questions about their respective security procedures. “The answer to numerous security questions and concerns lies, of course, in encryption,” he explained. “The earliest forms of cryptography were found in hieroglyphs carved into […]
