    It’s crazy that we have stalled on the structure of the basic DRAM cell for decades now.

    The article says nothing about the construction or special qualities of ZAM, as compared to HBM :(

      There doesn't seem to be much detail anywhere else either. All I was able to gather was that the memory dies are stacked (not new) but that the vias connecting the stack are angled instead of straight up and down and this is better because ... reasons?

      Indeed, what is it? The article doesn't say, only espouses the supposed benefits.
