A new memory technology for artificial intelligence, called SOT-MRAM, was developed to overcome the limitations of traditional memories used in AI systems.

This magnetic memory has the ability to retain information even when there is no electricity supply, which represents a significant advantage over other memory technologies.

The SOT-MRAM technology uses magnetic properties combined with other specific conditions that allow achieving superior performance. According to the article, this memory is faster and at the same time more efficient than existing alternatives.

Additionally, the technology consumes less energy compared to other memory technologies currently available, which can contribute to making AI systems more sustainable and economical.
