Semiconductor evolution part 7: RAM, ROM, and the Brain of the Computer

Episode 7 dives into the world of memory chips, which are essential for how computers and devices operate. While processors get much of the spotlight, RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read-Only Memory) are what make real-time computing possible.

Listeners learn how RAM serves as a system’s short-term memory—temporarily holding data that’s actively in use—while ROM stores permanent instructions like boot sequences. The episode also explains the evolution of DRAM and Flash memory, and how storage has scaled from megabytes to terabytes with technologies like 3D NAND.

We highlight how companies like Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix have advanced memory density, speed, and efficiency—enabling everything from mobile apps to cloud servers. By the end, it’s clear: without memory chips, modern computing wouldn’t function at all.
