  • This is more of a preliminary review with the full one to follow, but right now I have an issue with the hook. Specifically, it seems to be reliant on tech knowledge and may not easily be understandable to general readers, especially with the mention of "pseudo-static" RAM. Perhaps people may be vaguely familiar with what RAM is, but not what pseudo-static RAM is. Maybe a new direction is needed here?

@DigitalIceAge: I also have to note that a QPQ is still needed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:26, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Or condensed: ALT1b: ... that academics called MoSys's 1T-SRAM a misnomer with "a catchy name"? DigitalIceAge (talk) 02:08, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose we can go with ALT1b. It's not a super amazing hook but I think it's better than the original. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:46, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article meets DYK requirements and is free from close paraphrasing. A QPQ has been done. Either ALT1 or ALT1b are acceptable, though I have a slight preference for ALT1b since it's shorter and has less links (I fear that the mention of the GameCube and Wii could direct readers to those article instead). I can't access the source for that hook fact so assuming good faith here. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:54, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • We need a more exact citation for Academics called the name a misnomer: "[1-transistor static RAM] is not really possible, but it makes for a catchy name". Who, specifically, said that? -- RoySmith (talk) 16:32, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Access time

[edit]

The article states "Access time was rated at 15µs, compared to 60 µs of contemporary chips."

This is the wrong dimension, RAM access times were (and still are) measured in nanoseconds (ns), not microseconds (µs), which are one thousand times longer than nanoseconds.

The article linked with footnote 5 uses the word nanoseconds, so the reason for the article to use "µs" is unclear. 93.209.81.99 (talk) 04:11, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
