IBM on Wednesday plans to unveil a new way of putting memory on processors that it thinks will dramatically improve performance.

Starting with its 45-nanometer processors next year, IBM will use embedded DRAM (dynamic RAM) instead of SRAM (static RAM) on its processors, effectively tripling the amount of memory it can put on those chips. The company plans to present the results of its research on using embedded DRAM during Wednesday's sessions at the International Solid State Circuits Conference, said Subu Iyer, distinguished engineer and director of 45-nanometer development at IBM.
