Altera and Micron help propel HMC, but will 3D packaging limit interest?
Altera Corp and Micron Technology Inc demonstrated a big step forward for Hybrid Memory Cube, by showing a Stratix V interface to the promising 3D technology. How might packaging limit HMC's popularity compared to special-purpose nonvolatiles like ferroelectric or magnetoresistive RAM?
In early August, we talked about the growing importance of memory and system-bus interfaces on next-generation FPGAs. Altera and Micron, both members of the HMC Consortium, are hoping to accelerate the viability and hence the utility of hybrid cubes by making them a mainstream alternative to DRAM and SRAM. Altera not only showed a Stratix V prototype, but indicated it would work on HMC for its upcoming Gen 10 family of FPGAs.
