In the context of ETH-RAM, what is the significance of the $10^6$ write endurance limit?
It represents the maximum number of write operations that can be performed on a single memory cell before it wears out.
Which of the following techniques could potentially be used to mitigate the limited write endurance of ETH-RAM?
All of the above.
Based on the information provided, which of the following statements is not true about ETH-RAM?
ETH-RAM has an access latency that is significantly higher than DRAM.
