The developer of Z-RAM high-density
memory intellectual property (IP), Innovative
Silicon Inc (ISi), have announced their selection by the
World Economic Forum as a Technology Pioneer 2008. The company is
one of 39 visionary companies that were named Technology Pioneers,
yet is the only semiconductor company to win The Forum's annual
award.
ISi, headed by CEO Mark-Eric
Jones and Pierre Fazan, CTO, Chairman, and cofounder, is a fast-growing,
venture-backed company that develops and licenses Z-RAM - the world's
most dense and, therefore, lowest-cost memory technology.
Z-RAM has been the recipient
of numerous industry awards. It has shown itself to be the ideal
memory for both embedded standalone DRAM. With the simplicity and
elegance of a true single-transistor memory cell, Z-RAM provides
unmatched cost, performance, and manufacturing advantages over all
other memory technologies. Most important, perhaps, is that Z-RAM
technology can lower the
|
electrical power consumed by
semiconductor devices by up to 50%, a
material reduction when even a small data
center consumes tens of thousands of watts
of power.
The selection criteria for this prestigious award include Innovation;
Potential Impact; Growth and Sustainability; Proof of Concept; Leadership;
and Status, as a parent company.
