From the early days of frequency scaling, the gap has been growing between the DRAM performance improvement rate versus the processor data consumption rate. This presentation will show several advantages of using Microns Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) technology. HMC is a three-dimensional structure with a logic device at its base and a plurality of DRAMs vertically stacked above it using through-silicon via (TSV) connections.
