Is there such a thing as CFDVRAM?

Hi:

 

Is there such a thing as Capacitor-Free Dynamic Volatile Random Access Memory? If so, are there any CFDVRAM chips available for PCs?

 

 

Thanks

The most common type of computer memory. Dynamic RAM (DRAM, D-RAM) chips are very dense because they use only one transistor and one storage capacitor for each bit. Unlike non-volatile firmware chips (ROM, EEPROM, flash, etc.), both major types of RAM, dynamic RAM and static RAM, lose their content when the power is turned off.

Which is not Capacitor-Free! But these seem to be coming out soon and is capacitor free........

wouldn't non volatile memory be better, it doesn't mean it's not RAM

Sorry for the late reply. I think TTRAM is has least amount of data remanence. Best for those who want confidentiality.
