Memory Density Limits in Computers: Theoretical Boundaries and Practical Advances

Key TakeawaysRapid data growth requires memory technology that maximizes storage capacity, minimizes size, and maintains speed.Concepts such as the Bekenstein bound suggest that the amount of information stored in a physical space is fundamentally limited.As memory components shrink, they face physical problems such as quantum effects and thermal noise that affect reliability and performance.Traditional silicon-based memory such as DRAM and flash has its limits, with problems such as leakag...
