At the Intel Connection Japan 2026 event, Intel made its debut presentation of the prototype for 'Z-Angle Memory' (ZAM), a collaborative effort with Saimemory—a subsidiary of SoftBank. Founded in December 2024 and fully operational since June 2025, Saimemory specializes in memory technology. Joshua Fryman, Chief Technology Officer of Intel Government Technologies, and Makoto Ohno, CEO of Intel Japan, were both present at the launch event. The essence of ZAM technology is its 'Z-Angle' architecture, which utilizes a misaligned interconnection topology to effectively overcome thermal bottlenecks and boost computational efficiency. Marketing materials highlight that ZAM matches or even outperforms HBM, with a 40% to 50% reduction in power consumption and a maximum single-chip capacity of 512GB.
