IBM is teaming with Infineon and Macronix on a future computer and electronics memory solution that could hold the key to high-speed, high-density data storage. The companies, all semiconductor makers, said they would collaborate on phase-change memory (PCM), a form of memory that relies on change in material state — from amorphous to crystalline — rather than the conventional computer memory of today that relies on electrical charge.
