Next Generation Memory

More Memory
Less PowerTM

IronLattice builds a drop-in replacement for DRAM and HBM. It's fast enough to keep up with AI compute and permanent enough to never forget, manufacturable in fabs that already exist today.

The build

The memory AI has been waiting for.

Gator MemoryTM is a nonvolatile memory architecture built for AI and high performance computing. It runs inside today's standard CMOS manufacturing, no exotic materials, no retooling, so it can scale as fast as the fabs that already exist.

The tradeoff

Every computer has had to choose.

Between memory that's fast, and memory that remembers.

DRAM

Fast memory keeps the processor moving

It reads and writes in a blink. Then the power drops and it loses everything it knew.

OR
NAND

Persistent memory holds the data for years

It remembers everything. It just can't keep pace.

Introducing

Gator MemoryTM

Persistent, reliable, and fast enough to replace the DRAM and HBM already in every server.

Built in the CMOS fabs that already exist. No exotic materials, no retooling.

DRAM forgets. We don't. That's the whole company in one switch.
