How AI Impacts Memory Systems

Throughout the 1980's and early 1990's computer systems were bottlenecked by relatively slow CPU performance, thereby limiting what applications could do. Driven by Moore's Law, transistor counts increased significantly over the years, improving system performance and enabling exciting new computing possibilities. Although computing capabilities have advanced significantly in recent years, bottlenecks have shifted to other parts of the computing system. Put simply, while Moore's Law has addressed processing needs and enabled new computing paradigms, there are now a new set of challenges for the industry to address. Evolving devices and computing models The period between 1990-2000 was characterized by centralized computing that revolved around desktops and workstations.
