  • Abstract
    Pinnacle leverages state-of-the-art technologies to establish a low-cost, high-performance single-chip memory controller. The chip uses IBM´s memory expansion technology system architecture, which more than doubles the installed main memory´s effective size without adding significant cost or degrading performance
