Intel reportedly investigates return to memory biz in Japan
Briefly

Intel and SoftBank have reportedly formed a partnership to establish a new entity named Saimemory, dedicated to developing low-power stacked DRAM memory for AI applications. This technology aims to deliver high performance while consuming significantly less energy compared to current high-bandwidth memory solutions. Saimemory is set to invest approximately $70 million, with SoftBank slated to be a primary customer if the initiative succeeds. The report comes after Intel's exit from the memory business in 2022 as it refocused on its core products. In related news, India Post introduced a geocoding scheme called DIGIPIN to enhance address precision in areas lacking proper street names, while Japan Post is developing an alphanumeric system to streamline digital address usage.
Intel and SoftBank have teamed up to create Saimemory, aiming to develop energy-efficient memory for AI that promises high performance at lower energy costs.
If Saimemory succeeds, it will prioritize SoftBank as a customer, indicating strong commercial backing and a strategic partnership between Intel and SoftBank.
India's DIGIPIN adds a digital layer to traditional addresses, aimed at enhancing the efficiency of locating hard-to-find addresses in areas with limited address systems.
Japan Post is transitioning to a more robust digital address format with its alphanumeric codes, streamlining online form submissions and enhancing postal efficiency.
