CrossBar’s Resistive RAM technology is now being offered for use in memory applications requiring higher levels of content security. It says the ReRAM cell itself is inherently resistant to physical hacking targeting sensitive information and data stored in memory. It is not feasible to externally read the physical ReRAM cell electrically, magnetically or through imaging techniques even after delamination of the silicon. “MSI performed extensive delayering and inspection of CrossBar’s ReRAM memory silicon through imaging techniques in an attempt to determine its stored content”, said Michael Strizich, President of MicroNet Solutions. “After significant evaluation using sophisticated techniques such as measuring electron beam induced current and passive voltage contrast imaging, we were unsuccessful in determining the contents of the memory array”.

With AMD buying Pensando for $1.9 billion – a 6x multiple on its $313 million funding – that leaves three full house DPU vendors. There is AMD with its CPUs, GPUs, Pensando DPUs and Xylinx FPGAs, along with Nvidia with its line of GPUs, CPUs, and BlueField DPU/SmartNICs. The third member of this triumvirate is Intel with its CPUs, GPUs, Agilex FPGAs and IPUs (Intel Processing Units) – its term for DPUs. That leaves DPU and composable systems startup Fungible out on its own.

We are told it’s an enterprise SSD with specific data center use cases and targeted deployments in mind, but what specific use cases we have no idea. It will be sold as a Solidigm-branded SSD. We think it could be a product slightly more powerful than Soldigm’s DC-PC5510 and have asked for more information.
SK hynix told us on April 12: “This was a limited release product to only a couple of customers [and] there are no images available to share,” or data sheet either. It’s not a real product yet.
