Intel planning to get rid of DRAM on PCs

So what are they replacing it with?!

EDIT: from the comments I get the impression that they want to move the memory closer to the CPU.

Stacked DRAM, if I understand it correctly.

I hadn't heard of stacked DRAM. For anyone else looking for a reference, I liked http://blogs.intel.com/research/2011/09/15/hmc/

The description of "getting rid of DRAM" sounds misleading if this is what they are deploying.

From that article: "This groundbreaking prototype has 10 times the bandwidth and 7 times the energy efficiency than even the most advanced DDR3 memory module available."

Only if you have showdead on.

In other HN curiosities, I lost the ability to flag a few weeks ago.
