#2Is this bad news for HP - others will have access to something like/as good as a memristor?

#3"Almost infinite number of write cycles" is the subtitle. Really now?

I didn't get the impression that memristors were close enough to commercial production to affect HP one way or the other.

Inside the article: "According to Nantero, NRAM can withstand 10^12 write cycles and 10^15 read cycles -- an almost infinite number."

Memristors are turning into yet another falso hope from HP. They never created a product that is as good as flash, nevermind this newfangled nanotube memory.

#8"Almost infinite number of write cycles" is the subtitle. Really now?
It would be better phrased "will not suffer write cycle limitations", but I think it communicates decently to a general audience what's going on.
If you asked me what the write cycle limitation of the registers in my haswell chip was, I'd shrug and say effectively unlimited. Which isn't far off what they said.

FWIW, this predates the memristor. There are several types of RAM all trying to replace NAND and DRAM. It seems likely that one will win, with a couple others for niche uses (IIRC MRAM is already favorable for some aerospace applications due to its resistance to switching from cosmic rays).
