dorsaVi Commences RRAM Device Evaluation as AI-Driven Memory Constraints Accelerate the Shift Toward In-Memory Computing
Initial RRAM test chips received to begin device-level evaluation as part of dorsaVi’s development program progressing toward an advanced 22-nm RRAM platform designed to support future memory demand in robotics, drones and autonomous systems.
Key Highlights
-
RRAM development program underway: dorsaVi has received initial RRAM test silicon and commenced early-stage device characterisation at the 180-nm node, representing the first step in its development pathway toward an advanced 22-nm RRAM platform and scalable manufacturing flow.
-
22-nm as the neuromorphic-ready node: Stepping down from legacy 180-nm and 40-nm nodes toward 22-nm enables significantly higher memory density, faster access speeds and lower power per operation, creating a more capable platform for in-memory and neuromorphic computing architectures than older processes can support.
-
AI memory supply constraints intensifying: Industry reports indicate accelerating demand for AI infrastructure is tightening availability and increasing pricing pressure across DRAM and highbandwidth memory markets.
-
Robotics-led memory demand: Robotics, drones and autonomous systems are emerging as major structural drivers of advanced memory demand over the coming decade.
-
“Memory wall” and “power wall” emerging as system bottlenecks: Today’s AI systems are increasingly memory-bound, with some industry estimates suggesting 70–90% of compute energy may be associated with moving data between processors and external memory. These constraints are driving interest in neuromorphic and in-memory architectures designed to minimise data movement and reduce reliance on large external memory bandwidth.
-
Shift toward in-memory computing architectures: These dynamics are accelerating industry interest in architectures that reduce data movement and improve performance per watt by enabling computation closer to where data is generated.

Melbourne, Australia – 13 March 2026 – dorsaVi Limited (“dorsaVi” or “the Company”) notes increasing global commentary highlighting structural constraints in conventional memory architectures as AI workloads scale across data-centre and edge computing environments. While much of the current focus remains on expanding compute capability, system performance and efficiency are increasingly influenced by memory bandwidth, data movement and power consumption.
Against this backdrop, dorsaVi has commenced early-stage testing and characterisation of RRAM devices following receipt of initial RRAM test silicon. The program forms part of the Company’s staged development pathway toward an advanced 22-nm RRAM platform and a more scalable manufacturing flow, intended to support more memory-efficient, low-latency architectures for edge and embedded AI applications such as robotics, drones and autonomous systems.
Market Context: Memory Constraints and System-Level Pressure

At a system level, modern AI accelerators require materially higher memory bandwidth and capacity than traditional computing devices. As a result, performance is increasingly constrained not only by compute capability, but by the ability to feed processors with data -an effect often described within the industry as the “memory wall”. Conventional architectures that depend on frequent transfers of data between processors and external memory can therefore experience diminishing returns as additional compute is added.
As AI workloads scale, these dynamics drive:
-
increasing energy consumption associated with data movement and memory access
-
higher latency and bandwidth requirements
-
greater cooling and infrastructure demands, particularly in dense deployments
dorsaVi believes these factors are accelerating industry interest in in-memory and neuromorphic architectures that reduce data movement and enable computation closer to the data source, improving performance per watt and lowering reliance on scarce, high-cost memory bandwidth.

Enabling Neuromorphic and Edge-AI Architectures
dorsaVi’s RRAM roadmap is closely aligned with its neuromorphic computing portfolio, which is designed to use emerging memories such as RRAM not only to store AI weights, but also to perform in-memory and analog-style computation, retain data without power and operate at very low energy.
In this architecture:
-
RRAM provides the high-speed, low-voltage, non-volatile memory fabric;
-
neuromorphic and Processing-in-Memory blocks use that fabric as dense arrays of “artificial synapses” for local learning and inference; and
-
ultra edge devices – including in robots, drones and wearable systems – can execute critical control, safety and perception workloads directly where the data is generated.
The Company believes that transitioning its RRAM technology from 40-nm to a neuromorphic-ready 22nm node is an important step toward manufacturable, advanced-node silicon that can underpin these ultra-edge use cases.
Strategic relevance of building intelligent memory for the ultra-edge
As AI moves into real-world devices at the edge and ultra-edge – such as robots, drones, industrial systems and medical devices – designers increasingly need hardware that does more work with less power , responds predictably and quickly , and can make decisions locally without relying on a constant cloud connection. In these environments, large GPU- and DRAM-heavy systems can be difficult to deploy because they draw too much power, generate too much heat, take up too much space and are exposed to swings in memory supply and pricing.

dorsaVi Ltd | ABN: 15 129 742 409 Level 50/108, St Georges Terrace, Perth, WA, 6000 1800 367 728 | dorsaVi.com
dorsaVi believes its transition to an advanced 22 nm architecture is aligned with addressing these constraints by enabling more in-memory designs that enable computing in-memory.
The 22 nm program is intended to support:
-
✓ improved power efficiency and higher integration density
-
✓ tighter coupling of memory and logic for faster local processing
-
✓ integration of in-memory compute structures that reduce data-transfer overhead
Mathew Regan, Chief Executive Officer of dorsaVi said: “The rapid expansion of AI infrastructure is placing increasing pressure on power efficiency and memory utilisation across the computing stack. While much of today’s investment is focused on large-scale data-centre hardware, we believe the next phase of AI growth will become increasingly distributed, with intelligence embedded directly into physical systems operating at the edge and ultra-edge. Our RRAM-based in-memory and neuromorphic computing platform is being developed to reduce data movement and enable ultra-low-power, low-latency intelligence where efficiency is critical. We believe our technology roadmap is aligned with these structural industry trends.”
dorsaVi will continue to progress its RRAM and neuromorphic computing programs through further development, validation and commercialisation milestones. The Company believes that ongoing pressure on conventional memory supply, combined with accelerating adoption of edge-AI systems, reinforces the strategic relevance of its advanced-node RRAM roadmap.
The Company will keep the market informed as these initiatives advance.
