Texas Engineers Collaborate with TSMC on Energy-Efficient Memory Tech for AI
Engineers from Texas are exploring SOT-MRAM technology to mitigate the rising energy demands of AI systems. This collaboration with TSMC aims to enhance memory efficiency and reduce reliance on data centers.

Researchers from Texas have collaborated with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to develop SOT-MRAM, a memory technology designed to meet the increasing energy needs of artificial intelligence. SOT-MRAM boasts a write speed of 2 nanoseconds and consumes only 2 picojoules per write operation, significantly outperforming existing memory technologies that can take several milliseconds and consume hundreds of picojoules.
As Texas anticipates a 5x increase in energy usage from data centers, improving memory capabilities like SOT-MRAM could address both efficiency and reliance on data centers. Continued refinement of this technology aims to enhance speed and reduce variability, potentially allowing SOT-MRAM to replace CPU-based accelerators in various AI applications.
