Saimemory, a subsidiary of SoftBank Corp, recently entered an agreement with Intel to support the development of next-generation memory technologies. The pair are targeting a release window of the prototypes by 31 March 2028 and commercial products a year later.
The pair signed an agreement to drive the commercialisation of Z-Angle Memory, which is intended to support high-capacity and high-bandwidth data processing, and reduced power consumption in data centres and other environments requiring training and inference of large-scale AI models, a joint statement explained.
Saimemory, established in December 2024, will tap Intel for its foundational technologies and technical expertise, validated by its next-generation DRAM bonding initiative, aimed at improving the performance and power efficiency of next-generation DRAM.
The initiative was completed under the Advanced Memory Technology programme managed by the US Department of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration through the Sandia National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Z-Angle Memory is a stacked DRAM architecture aimed at surpassing current high-bandwidth memory standards.
