英特尔与软银合作押注下一代AI内存ZAM

A new partnership between Intel and a SoftBank-backed memory startup is bringing the chipmaker back into the memory conversation—without building fabs or returning to conventional DRAM manufacturing. Instead, Intel is positioning itself as an architectural and packaging innovator, supplying the intellectual property and interconnect technologies that could define a new class of high-bandwidth, low-power memory for artificial intelligence data centers. The collaboration centers on a SoftBank subsidiary often referred to as Saimemory, which is developing a technology known as Z-Angle Memory, or ZAM. Intel’s role is not to make memory chips, but to provide the architectural frameworks, interconnect design, and advanced packaging platforms that allow ZAM modules to scale efficiently inside modern AI servers. …
