STORAGE CLASS MEMORY Attempts to combine the best characteristics of DRAM and NAND Flash Storage Memory It will supplement the US$ 96 billion DRAM and US$ 56 billion NAND Flash markets – not replace or diminish them or their growth. Access Time (Sec) 4DS Interface Switching ReRAM is a unique ReRAM being developed specifically for Storage Class Memory applications. NAND Flash Storage Class Memory Battleground for next generation memory technology. Faster DRAM-like read speed Cheaper NAND Flash-like costs DRAM Die Cost ($/GB) Non-Volatile Volatile Non-volatile Retains data when power is off 5 BEST DATA SET RECORDED BY 4DS. In 2020, 4DS Interface Switching ReRAM showed record achievements in relevant Storage Class Memory categories: Best endurance data recorded – two to three times better than previously reported* Highest recorded speed near DRAM speed – an areabased ReRAM first – US patents now granted* No need for speed crippling error correction – a ReRAM first – US patents now granted Retention data recorded – additional studies to be completed to assess upper limits Data validated by two of the world’s leading semiconductor participants – imec / HGST *ASX Announcement 24.06.2020 6 BOARD AND MANAGEMENT STRENGTHENED.
