I wonder is here the right place to post such question, but i am giving it a shoot...
Accessing sequential memory is not efficient when CPU would like to access different memory location.
Sequentially accessing random-access memory asserts address signals over address bus for every access, hence consumes more power.
Why not combine both these 2 design into a mixed Random/Sequential-Access Memory??? As the memory can be accessed either Random-Access (use addr bus) or Sequentially (use control signal, e.g: a "next" bit)?
Or... Pardon me if such design do exist.
Thx
