Twin Transistor RAM

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Of the three proposed floating body effect memory techs, this one appears the most obscure. Besides the original announcement by Renesas, which got its echoes in the typical trade mags (which have a pretty low threshold for reporting such things and whose reporting is often little more than edited/condensed press releases), there isn't much else. At least the other two (ZRAM and FBC) have had several press articles over the years in relation to more than one demo at conferences, announcements of others licensing the tech (even though not using it production) etc. After the initial announcement, the world was silent on TTRAM though. So I think it fails WP:GNG by depth and span of independent coverage and more akin to an WP:EVENT. Their 2005 IEEE paper only has 11 citations to date in Google Scholar, so it seems pretty obscure on that metric too. Someone not using his real name (talk) 14:36, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete: Funny thing is someone had published books from this Wikipedia article which has existed for around 9 years. Other than that, no credible source. - Vatsan34 (talk) 15:48, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
