DIMMのDual Inlineは、基板の両面に1列ずつ、合計2列の信号ピン（信号を送受信するための端子）の列があることに由来する。これによりDIMMは基板の両面で別々の信号を処理できる。1980年代主流だったメモリモジュール規格「SIMM」（Single Inline Memory Module）では、Single Inlineという名前の通り、1列しかなかった。 現在、一般的なPCはレジスタードバッファ（データの読み書きを安定させるための集積回路）を搭載していない「Unbuffered DIMM」を採用している。本記事でのDIMMはUnbuffered DIMMを指す。 DIMMとSO-DIMMはサイズが異なる。現在主流のメモリ規格「DDR5」（Double Data Rate 5）のDIMMの大きさは通常、133.35（横幅）×30（高さ）ミリだ。横幅が133.35ミリと中途半端だが、これはDIMM規格が標準化された際のDIMMのサイズに由来する。SO-DIMMは通常、横幅がDIMMの半分より少し長い67.6×30ミリになる。...

The noise that distorts the signals increases because all of the activity, much like a conversation in a crowded room, is more difficult because people have to talk over the crowd noise. With super-regenerative AI, all network elements are tied to each other one-on-one, allowing for a faster and freer flow of information, while still supporting the reverse data flow of recursive-regenerative AI.

Big Things are Happening in Embedded MemoryThe biggest strides are being made in embedded memory, the memory in system-on-chips (SoCs)-microcontrollers, ASICs, and other chips that have been using NOR flash since it was invented in the 1980s. Why would this be? Well, with the advent of the FinFET at 14 nm, flash memory was no longer an option. Of course, even if CMOS logic hadn't moved to a FinFET structure, 14 nm was out of the reach of planar flash anyway, for reasons we won't go into here.
