They could switch at far higher frequencies than valves – which made for CPUs that could go faster – but took a fraction of the power. However, partly because of the amount of work required to create large memories from umpteen identical transistor-based circuits, it wasn't until 1970 that core memory saw its position as the dominant form of RAM seriously threatened.
It was then that Intel released the first general-purpose commercial DRAM chip: the model 1103. It held just 1,024 bits, but its physical size (about 25mm in length), low-power consumption and reliability changed computing as much as core memory had done in the 1950s. With each bit formed from just one microscopic transistor and capacitor prefabricated into a silicon chip containing thousands of identical component pairings, the 1103 was as simple to make as a microprocessor.
By 1974, the combination of increasingly voluminous DRAM chips and low-cost microprocessors made possible the first mass-producedYet again, storage had led the way to increasing global computing power
