“MetaRAM develops new technology that quadruples memory capacity of servers and workstations; Reduces price by up to 90 percent”

MetaRAM received its first round of funding in January 2006, demonstrated its first working samples in July 2007 and released its first chipset into production in November 2007. The company was co-founded by industry luminary and former AMD CTO Fred Weber and is funded by venture firms including Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Khosla Ventures, Storm Ventures and Intel Capital.

MetaSDRAM MR08G2 chipset enables 2-rank 8GB DIMMs and is capable of functioning at speeds up to 667MT/s. It consists of an AM150 Access Manager and 5 FC540 Flow Controllers working as a group. The chipset is currently in full production and is available at $200 each in 1,000 kit quantities.
MetaSDRAM MR16G2 chipset enables 2-rank 16GB DIMMs and is capable of functioning at speeds up to 667MT/s. It consists of two AM160 Access Managers and 9 FC540 Flow Controllers. The chipset is qualified for production and is priced at $450 each in 1,000 kit quantities.
