Re: Crossbar Resistive RAM stores a terabyte on a chip
#2Does anyone know if there has been progress in volatile memory tech? I'm hoping for 1TB RAM chips with 10x faster access times than current RAM. It will enable PC gaming to deliver unmatched immersive experiences, among other applications.

#3I remember memristers were supposed to do something like this.
Anyone have an idea if this is related or unrelated.

If this is true, wow, but I have a hard time believing it.

They haven't mentioned the price or may be I missed it. That may be the important factor.

#7That is flipping amazing if true.
Also, that "Crossbar Chip Design" graphic made me chuckle. It is nearly meaningless by itself, and is placed so far away from the context it's discussed in, it almost remains that way unless you're trying to connect it.

Well, hopefully some competition will prompt Hynix to get the ball rolling, instead of just squeezing the last dollars out of current flash technology...

They also don't compare the read speed (17 MB/s) to existing flash memory. They showcase an amazing write speed, but most applications access data a lot more frequently than they create it.

As I understand it, one of the (more interesting) characteristics of memristors is that they can do computation. They don't mention anything like that here, so I doubt it.
