Could it work?

Yes, but it would require:

  • A redesigned memory controller capable of tiering RAM (which would be more complex).
  • OS-level support for dynamically assigning memory usage based on speed (Operating systems and applications assume all RAM operates at the same speed).
  • Applications/libraries optimized to take advantage of this tiering.

Right now, the easiest solution for fast, high-bandwidth RAM is just to solder all of it.

  • parent
