wondering about if a certain type of memory technology exists, on a trifecta i just made up: fab cost, power efficiency, and performance (speed)
2 out of 3:
power efficiency + performance = SRAM
fab cost + performance = DRAM
fab cost + power efficiency = ?

yes i am generally aware that all things considered DRAM is power efficient, but i am looking for the *categorical* kind of power efficiency that simply lies outside its reach, with refresh logic.
like the RAM equivalent of a CPU without an MMU or speculative execution stuff.
basically the question is this:
if i am willing to sacrifice speed at the nanometer level, what memory technology could be as power efficient as SRAM yet as cheap as DRAM?
