While SDRAM requires to be continuously powered to store data, the FeRAM does not require any power consumption for such purpose. One can consider it as a memory module hybrid between the SDRAM and the NAND flash memory. However, one should not get too much excited, and it is unclear how long it will still take for Toshiba to get this technology out of its R&D labs. To reach mass production and large adoption, FeRAM will need to reach performance level of the current SDRAM while minimizing the cost of this technology.
