Each day, Benzinga takes a look back at a notable market-related moment that occurred on this date. What Happened? On this day in 1981, IBM (NYSE: IBM) launched its IBM Personal Computer.

In a nutshell, EMS reserved — at least at first — a 64 kB block of memory above the 640 kB line and then contained a lot of memory that you could switch in and out of that 64 kB block.

Compared to CompactFlash memory cards (which cost roughly $2 per MB for 64MB cards), the 1.0 GB MicroDrive is a great deal at $0.50 per MB.

IBM on Monday demonstrated its first Racetrack Memory chip, which could offer as much data storage capacity as a hard drive but with the read/write speeds of DRAM and durability of NAND flash.

Scientists at IBM Research in Zurich have demonstrated the first working sample of multi bit phase change memory, which they claim reads and writes 100x faster than flash.

As for the leather chair, that was apparently the idea of one of Sid Meier's business partners, Bill Stealey. The first ...

IBM Research approaches a technology breakthrough with non-volatile magnetic memory IBM scientists believe they are closing in on resolving the remaining limitations that have relegated magnetic ...

Where protected mode is convenient compared to real mode is that with the former the memory accesses go via the MMU and thus allows for access to 16 MB on the 80286 and 4 GB on the 80386.

IBM Watson Like a parent washing out their child’s mouth with soap, IBM was forced to cleanse its supercomputer Watson’s memory after it learned a thing or two from the Urban Dictionary.

IBM's so-called 3D-chip technology is set to be used in next-generation memory processors from Micron Technology, yielding very-high-speed DRAM.

The electro-optic system on a chip (Fig. 1) contains a dual-core RISC-V instruction set architecture 17 (ISA) microprocessor and an independent 1 MB bank of static random access memory that is ...
