A researcher named Joseph Ashwood inspired from the multicore processors to begin working on the multicore memory, that he sees in stores in the next few years. He began designing the multicore memory and has been reviewed by a team from Carnegie Mellon.

If his plans will actually work, his design will allow memory to get bigger and also faster, because his planning to organize data in a new way, across individual memory cells. He states that doubling the size will also double the memory speed, with a ratio of 1:1 and if it works, it will only need a good marketing campaign to stay in front of the other next generation RAM the biggest companies are preparing to release. Until now, he is only in a software simulation stage, but Ashwood says the chips could be built in just three months.
